inlined
I have purchased Windows XP Professional OEM edition SP2, and during
installation, when it asks for Product key, after typing it in it says
it is invalid. I visited the website listed on the booklet to figure
out how to tell if i have purchased a pirated version or not, and
after going through the steps, the product has passed all the tests
and has been declared legit by the website. I am positive i typed in
the Product Key correctly without any confusion between the
characters, several times even, but with no avail. The relevant
support page (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310637) does not help
me, especially since most of the methods assume i already have Windows
installed. I am wondering if there are any other steps i can take to
completing the installation?
