Topic says it all.
2 years ago, I was in the army and the harddrive in my Dell laptop collapsed.
(Win XP Pro SP1 was on the laptop when I bought it directly from dell, and the product key is still on a label on the bottom here.) Label says Win xp pro and Dell
I was far away from both internet and support lines at the time, but needed my computer so one of my friends lend me his XP PRO SP2 install disc.
Only problem was that when I had it installed, it would not accept my product key.
Since I had a paid genuine product key that suddenly would not work, I helped myself to a new key from a key generator.
All was fine until now, and when I follow Microsoft's instuctions to change the key back to what it says on the sticker, it still wont accept it.
So here I am, with a paid product, a trick key installed and a Valid key that Microsoft won't accept.
Any tips?
