Unable to activate my Windows XP

Question
-
Hi
I am unable to activate my windows after I have keyed in the COA number. It prompted that i have mistyped it. However I have checked and confirmed it is the correct Product Key. I didn't know what actually happened. As i can recall, I was doing a scanning through Avira. After the scanning, a virus pop out and I accidentally removed it. After which, my computer restart. Then, there was this dialog box stating that "Windows need to be activated with Microsoft before you can log on". I followed the procedure, keyed my original product key and it stated I have mistyped it.
How can I restore back my original setttings. I believe that I could have accidentally deleted windows when the Avira scanning virus pop out. Now I can't even go to Start in windows. Please help me as i have not backup my files.
Btw, here's my Diagnostic Report:

The Tool will do you no good.
Your current install is for Windows XP Pro - your Key is for XP Home.
You will need to reinstall Windows using proper XP Home installation media, or the Recovery system from your manufacturer.
If you no longer have either the Recovery disks, or a Recovery Partition, then you should order a set of disks from the manufacturer.

This Key has possibly been in use on at least one other motherboard – a BioStar one.Please confirm that the (parts of) Key you see above is the same as that on your COA sticker on the case.If not, then please tell us EXACTLY – except for the product Key – what is on the label.

Noel Paton | Nil Carborundum Illegitemi | CrashFixPC | The Three-toed Sloth...and the reason I highlighted the Office entry is that it’s a non-genuine installation using a Key that was stolen from MS in 2004 and immediately blocked. You need to uninstall it, and install a genuine copy.

Hi Noel
Thanks for the prompt reply. Anyway, I just realised that the product key is not the same as stated on my COA Sticker. Could the Avira Antivirus software installed on my pc be the main cause of it? This Avira antivirus was installed on my pc about few months back by my sister. Or is it the Office? So how can I uninstall when i can't even go to my control panels. Do i need to reinstall my Windows XP Home Edition? Is there anyway I can retrieve back as before? Thanks

So the Key on the computer is not yours?
I asked what was printed on the COA sticker - and you neatly avoided answering :) Is the COA sticker for XP Home or for XP Pro?
Avira has nothing to do with changing your Key - that has to be done manually, either at install, or by a fairly complex procedure best done automatically by the Product Key Update Tool.

It's : Windows XP Home Edition, OEM Software
Where can I find this Product Key Update Tool?
Thanks

I do have the original disk however, my disk drive is not working.... :) It has been for quite sometime. It just fail to read any disc that is inserted. I guess the last option is for me to send my pc for repair or contact my manufacturer. Anyway, thanks for your wonderful advise. Really appreciate it.Monday, November 14, 2011 11:04 AM

Really appreciate it.You should be able to get a replacement drive for (virtually) peanuts – around RM60? – and it’s a 5-minute job with a screwdriver to swap them over :)
