I had a real hard time trying to get Win XP Pro SP3 to load up on our SSD, so a very kind guy, who was helping me out with the XP Pro SP3 installation issues, actually sent me an XP SP3 Pro ISO image with AHCI drivers "slipped into" it. It was the one and only version of the installation that actually worked with an SSD.
Having spent so much time on this already, I dread the very idea of having to start over with an actual Installation CD. Do you know if it's possible to buy a Windows XP Pro license, register the version that's already on the SSD and be done with it?
Starting from scratch sounds like begging for a Windows No. 1-Million headache ... something I've had more than enough of in my day.
Thank you for any help with this.
