Dell has agreed to send me a new install disk with the correct verision.
I  have an Inspiron 8600 which got hosed from an MS patch update push.  The short of that is I decided to reload windows.  I wrote down the Key code for Windows from the System Properties screen before I started.   I place the Dell Restore CD in the laptop and away it went.  As it was loading, I noticed that the words Window Home Edition keep coming up on the screen.  Once the install was completed, I again checked the System Properties screen and the Key code is the same, but I notice that Microsoft Windows XP - Home Edition was showing.  I checked the tag on the bottom of the laptop and Window XP Professional is shown with a different key code.  The invoice that came with the laptop shows that Window XP Pro was installed.  I never thought to look at the System Properties screen when the laptop arrived.   My question is did I do something wrong when I reinstalled the OS or did Dell load the wrong OS?
