According to your MGA diagnostic report, you have Windows XP Media Center Edition installed (Windows OS version: 5.1.2600.2.00010100.2.0.med). What are you trying to accoumplish with your Windows XP Professional product key?
A product key for Windows XP Professional is not valid with Windows XP Meida Center Edition.
