Windows site not allowing the DL of SP2

Sampler · 06-09-2006, 12:23 AM

Hi guys,

I just recently Reformated my comp, To make a long story Short I'm a Video Editer I need Hi-Speed USB but can only get it to work if I DL SP2 which the windows site won't let me, It says "Your Windows is not Valid". I would love to use Firewire to edit but I can only use which ever hard drives they give me. If anyone knows how to 1: get windows to run High Speed USB without SP2 or 2: Get windows site to able me to dowload SP2 that would be awesome. Thanks in Advance.

It sounds to me that you have an illegal copy of windows (meaning you didn't buy it).

So your saying IF that was true there is no other way around it?
