My disk fried a couple weeks ago. Could have done it my self but since I had
to buy the disk and the support place is down the street let them do
it..Make them responsible....They are not open yet so. here is the problem.
New disk. New OS since they couldn't recover my old one....they set a
separate partition in case I need re-install XP....Now the problem I started
loading on software and when I try to run it I get Invalid Keys.....That's
it. Nothing else It will not let me run any software I install. So all I
have is an OS no mail, etc. Just an OS. Has anyone seen this problem or have
any idea as to how to fix it. I obviously purchased a new computer in the
mean time but I need this one back..
Thanks in advance for any incite or help or fix.

Simply install xp cd,set to boot to xp cd,at info screen select r for
recovery,
press enter key for password,then type:DiskPart In DiskPart,delete all
partitions,then create one,then press Esc key,type:EXIT Reboot to xp cd,
this time select,"install xp" let it format and install auto.
