Because XP slows down on me after an hour of useage and Explorer
tends
to hang on shut downs, I'm wanting to reinstall XP on my system to
see
if it helps things.
I'm not opting to do a clean install where I wipe out the hard drive
and start over again because I don't want to go through the hassle of
reconfiguring my system, reinstalling applications and restoring
data.
So I'm just looking to reinstall XP over my current version.
Upon inserting the CD and initiating the install, I received this
warning:
Setup cannot continue because the version of Windows on your computer
is newer than the version on the CD.
Warning: If you decide to delete the newer version of Windows that is
currently installed on your computer, the files and settings cannot
be
recovered.
Is this because I have SP2 (I'm going to reinstall SP-2 as well)
installed on my machine?
Is it warning me that I'd lose data files or is it just referring to
behind the scenes XP files (that I want to be reinitialized to
possibly speed up my system)?
