    Hello rayven9,

    You are installing a Dell license for XP Home Edition onto a Gateway computer.  This is a violation of the End User Licensing Agreement (EULA).

    Since you cannot read the full product key on the Certificate of Authenticity on the Gateway, your best option IMO is to contact Gateway to see if you can order a set of Recovery discs for the computer.  When ordering, be sure to ask and confirm with the Gateway support personnel whether the recovery discs require the entry of the Product Key on the CoA, as yours in not entirely readable.

    If they do not require the use of the Product Key on the CoA, then you should be able to install Windows without any trouble.

    If they do, then you cannot use them for obvious reasons.  In such case, you have no other choice than to purchase a new Windows license for the computer.

    Thanks for the info.  Gateway won't help me because it is an old system and out of warranty.  I just used the XP that was given to me with the computer.  How do I go about purchasing a new product key?  Is it ok to use it more than once? Or can I buy an xp with a key that works more than once?  I have two computers in the house.  Thanks

    Hello rayven9,

    Consumer licenses for XP (retail and OEM) allow only ONE computer to have ONE installation of XP per license.  You can of course reinstall that ONE installation as many times as you need to on that ONE computer.

    Since the computer already has a CoA on it, it is still licensed to run the Windows listed on the CoA.  You technically don't need a new license, you just need the correct media to install the license you still have.  Unfortunately, having the Product Key partially unreadable makes this a much more difficult exercise.

    Try this alternative supplier for factory recovery discs:  www.restoredisks.com

    If there is no way to get the recovery discs, then you'll have to purchase a Windows license from your favorite software retailer.  XP products have been discontinued for a while so it might be difficult to locate stocks.  Be careful about buying these, as there are tons of counterfeit copies on sale on the internet.  Buy from a name-brand local or online store.
