3yr old laptop with xp home installed by vendor. Went and bought a XP pro
disk (legal) oem disk and installed and has been working just fine for the
last 3 years. HDD went south, bought a new HDD and reinstalled windowsxp
pro from a disk that I slipstreamed sp3 into. Install went fine, however
when trying to activate, changed the product key back to the original XP PRo
disk version that I bought. MS automated activation says the key does not
match after trying the new installation numbers. Tried activation twice no
luck. Is there ever a person that answers, all I can get is the automated
answer, or is my process wacked out.
