I am trying to re-install Windows XP Pro on a laptop. I have the original
activation key, but I keep getting an error message that the key is invalid.
I tried installing XP Pro w/ SP1 and XP Pro w/ SP2. It is possible that the
original installation was from the original XP Pro CD and therefore the key
would be for that version. Would this be the reason the key no longer works
with the SP1 or SP2 CDs? If so, how can I correct the problem if I no longer
have an original Windows XP CD?
Thanks in advance!
