Are you logged on as Administrator, while attempting setup?

Anyway, I found this forum thread that might help (with links):

Thanks for the double tip, Iceman. I think it's because I haven't yet
activated XP from the last "wipe-out", so that's the next problem. I
have re-installed XP Home ED & never had an activation problem till
now. The ID numbers (9x6 groups) seemingly are causing grief during
activation IE; "fault with your *********numbers"
I have spoken "live" to the call centre & been given a telephone (UK)
number to call..tomorrow as they are closed weekends. Have you any
idea why NOW I am having problems with activation. I have a genuine XP
cd bought at the electronics shop where I bought the parts for my PC
(self-built) and never had any trouble before now. Thanks for your
prompt reply.

I'm sorry, Sandy, but I have nothing else to offer. Did you read the posts
and articles I linked to?

BTW, an over-install (installing an OS on top of an earlier installation) is
not recommended. A fresh install is usually preferable.

Iceman, I think I'll go for the clean install, now that you mention
it. That would seem feasible considering the nonsense I have had so
far. When I started this install the numbers (9x6 groups) were
different to the ones I am getting now. I can almost remember the the
present faulty ones off by heart!). I'll start tidying my C:\ drive in
prep for the clean install & let you know how it goes. Thanks for the
tips.
