I have a WinXP Pro CD I have been using to reload several PC's. Each of these
computers I reload have their own Windows XP licenses attached to their case
that came orginally installed on them. My problem is when I get to the point
in the Windows setup to enter the product key it never takes the one that is
assigned to the computer...I HAVE to enter the key that is associated with
the CD. Once the setup is complete and I login, it then tells me I must
activate Windows. When I do this is doesn't work and I have to call
Microsoft. They then give me a code and it works fine. Is there a way I can
use this Windows XP Pro CD and have it take the correct ID in the first
place? Or does this CD only work with its assigned Product ID?Any ideas or
help would be appreciated. Thanks!
