Actually the company, or PC shop or whatever DID make it capable of
actually delivering what it promised until "you" formatted it and
replaced the properly configured Windows Media Center (successor to
WinXP Pro) for an older version of the Operating System, which
obviously lacks the capability to use an HD-DVD drive. I suggest you
dig up the CD or DVD-ROM (more likely) that came with your PC and do a
reinstall.
