[QUOTE="iggibar, post: 838886, member: 97843"] I was told from the people at the genius bar that OEM disks won't work whether they are xp or vista. It has to be a retail version of XP SP2 or Vista. They tried my version of XP Pro SP2, which was an OEM on their computer, and it gave them the same problem. Then they tried their own XP disk on mine(which was right from a retail box) and it worked. sadly, they removed the xp from my drive...they were just proving a point [/QUOTE]
