I have Windows XP Professional Edition on my computer and
had to replace the hard drive. Since then I have not been
able to install security updates because it tells me the
product code is invalid. Any suggestions? Please help.

Greetings --

Are you trying to install Service Pack 1a and getting the
following:

The Product Key Used to Install Windows Is Invalid

You need to purchase and use a legitimate full retail copy of
WinXP Pro to perform a repair (a.k.a. in-place upgrade) installation,
using the new CD and Product Key.

Remember, you should also report whomever sold you the pirated
software to the pertinent law enforcement agencies; you've been
defrauded.
