I have Windows XP Home 2002 SP1 and my hard drive crashed, need to reinstall,
but cannot because I cannot reactivate the product.

What happens when you try to activate?
Did you try the option to activate by phone?

I had the same thing with my laptop. You need to call the great people at
Microsoft. They were there late at night, and I had NO problems when I
explained to them what was wrong. I'm now fully activated. So call them.
Unless you dont have genuine software...
