CD and key don't match

[Guest]

I had to reinstall XP to recover from virus. I borrowed an XP Pro SP1 CD. The key was on a sticker on the computer. When I enter the key, it tells me it is invalid. The key sticker says "2 Processor" but the CD has no reference to how many processors. There is only one processor in the computer. Is there a separate CD for "2 processor"?

If you have a sticker on the computer, you most likely have OEM
Windows XP.
The CD you borrowed needs to be identical to your original CD or the
Product Key will not work.
Contact the computer manufacturer if you need a replacement CD.
The number of processors is not relevant in this case.
