invalid cert of aut #

[Debo]

My computer crashed a while back, and now I cannot get
windows installed properly. There is always a prompt to
put in the certificate of authenticity #. The only # I
have is on the side of my computer & when I put it in, it
says invalid, try again. HELP!!! This is the only # I
have.

Are you using the CD that came with that computer? You need to
because there are different types and they are not interchangeable.

Look very closely, O-0, G-6, B-8 and others look alike.
Have someone else try, sometimes another set of eyes and fingers can
get it.
