Hi
I had a relatively new, top of the range IBM Thinkpad T60P yesterday. The thing melted - literally. The fan broke and the heat buildup started messing up the internals. At some point yesterday, my battery failed - at which point it was time to kiss the $5,000 laptop goodbye and invest in a Mac - hey, get three operating systems for about the same price - sounds good to me !
So I bought a MacBook Pro ultimate - and installed Bootcamp on the thing. Formatted 50% of my partition with a brand new $299 copy of XP Pro I bought from Best Buy (stupidly - as I found out later that if I had used an illegal version, Microsoft would only have charged me $149 to make the thing legal). Anyhow - everything on my Boot Camp partition works beautifully, and my laptop literally flies.
So, I reboot back to OS-X - and install a new copy of VMWare Fusion - purchased from the Apple store. VMWare Fusion immediately, and correctly, identified my Boot Camp partition - and when I started up the boot camp as a virtual machine, XP started complaining about not being a genuine license since "the hardware had dramatically changed". Whenever I try to perform a validation, it now tells me that my license key has "already been validated".
I know that many others have been able to get the validation to work correctly - so I'm posting my Genuine Validation Diagnostic information as follows. Am I doing something wrong ?
