Hey question im am having issues with xp(direct x one of my 2 dvd burners) Its probably my fault for downloading so much trail crap etc etc. I want to install a fresh copy of xp but i hate having to call microsoft ( did it around January). My question is if the repair windows option doesnt work and i need to do a clean install


1 Is it ok to install the os over the old os instead of deleting it and my old partition

2 If i install the os over top will i still need to call microsoft when it tries to register via the internet and looks at my reg #

My xp disk is a legit disk i brought i just hate having to call them what can i do
