Invalid Cd-Key/Non-Genuine Windows XP Pro

[Guest]

I have recently been informed by microsoft that i have a non-genuine
installation of Windows XP Pro. Since then i have bought a new OEM pack. Now
the problem i am having is that i want to make my copy legal without having
to re-install the whole lot and therefore lose all of my data. If someone has
any suggestions they would be greatly appreciated.

Thanx Andy

You should have bought a legit version first instead of using that pirated
copy.....now you have to start from scratch...
