when I get to the enter product key screen on XP the key I have always used
will not work it says invalid product key. I have Corporate XP. And I have
just rebuilt my PC also new MB and everything. And last bit of info the HD
was pulled from the old computer and I am just reinstalling.
 
Microsoft never released a "Corporate version" of Windows XP.
Apparently, you have acquired an illegal, pirated version for which
there is no support. You should go out and purchase a legal version
and then you'll be all set to install Windows XP.

Well either way I have discovered it is probably just a bad install cause it
has worked many times before. With that aside I just want to start the
install over but it keeps bringing me to the enter cd screen any suggestions?
OH and as far as corporate edition it may be a different name but when I boot
from cd it comes up with a list of the versions of XP and I choose which one
I want to install. But it was purchased legally. But that isnt the issue now.
I just want to reinstall from scratch.
