unable to change key

Question
-
Hi: My ThinkPad T60P laptop crashed, so I need to install XP PRO which it was the original OS but I lost the recovery disks so I used my copy a genuine XP PRO that I have installed in another computer. When it fisnished installation I tried to use the key # in sticker in the back of my laptop but said "It was the wrong key" so I put the key # which it came with disk. Later I tried to change the key number with system tools but it said the key was mispelled. What I did wrong? Thank youMonday, November 21, 2011 9:44 PM
