Media error when installing sp3

Question
-
I started with a Toshiba laptop which has a clean hard drive. I purchased new windows xp home edition sp2 software on ebay (still in the shrinkwrap and has product key sticker, etc. Everything installed fine but when I go to install sp3 it tells me the prodcut key is not valid for this media type. I am copying my wga report below. Could you please help me to fix this? Thanks.

Hello cmeiss,
That Pid=value, plus the hologram being a sticker = most likely a counterfeit.
What about the Product Key?
Does the Toshiba have a Certificate of Authenticity for XP or Vista? If so there was no need to buy a new license, all you needed were the Recovery/Reinstallation discs from Toshiba...

Thanks for the info. I will be finding recourse on Ebay.
This machine came with Vista but I am wanting to install XP because I do not like Vista. What is a way to buy a reasonably priced legal standalone verrsion of xp that would work?- Marked as answer by Darin Smith MS Thursday, October 15, 2009 9:42 PM

Hello cmeiss,
Is this installed PK also on the CoA that came with the materials you purchased on ebay?

Navigate to the setupp.ini file in the \i386 folder on the CD that came with the materials you purchased on eBay. This is a small text file with two sections. Please post the second section.
Look closely at the CD you got. Is the hologram a thin label affixed to the top surface of the CD, or is it embedded within the plastic of the CD?

Here is the information from the setupp file from the cd:
[Pid]
ExtraData=796674736977656D7A622E385892A4
Pid=55274270
As for the cd, when I examined it closely, it looks like it may be a very thin sticker. Have I been had by pirates? Is there any way to get a true version that I can install on my machine. I want to do this legally but I do want to install xp and stop spending all this time?Thursday, October 15, 2009 7:26 PM -
