Instllaing the service Pack1A

[Sean T]

I get an error message that reads "The Product Key used
to install is invalid......"

I know the product key is fine, since I have already
installed the service pack on my VMWare partition but now
have problem upgrading XP on this stand alone drive.

Can some one offer any pointeres?

If you activated the VM, then you will need another CD key to install again.
That is why it is requesting a phone call activation.
