My computer is an HP 6746c Desktop (purchased in 2001 haha) and it came with windows ME. I did not like ME at all and so recently I upgraded to windows XP home. Everything was going well until i decided to run my recovery CD from windows ME to reinstall some program. Long story short, I no longer have an operating system on my computer. I cannnot install windows XP home again because it requires a previous version of windows to run. I would like to either reinstall any windows so i can use the computer again, OR some how copy the data from the hard drive and then just reformat the entire thing and start new. Any suggestions?
