Window XP code Key

[Guest]

I just recently had to reformat my computer and used my purchase of XP professional for the recovery. Unfortunately the key code I wrote down was in correct and now my computer is stuck at that stage

I already registrared my XP Prof. Is there a number I can call to get a new key code???? or am I am SOL and have to buy a new XP prof?

Thanks for any comment

Use the number that is on the sticker as the one that you "wrote down" is,
obviously, incorrect! If you don't have the sticker, go buy the product!

Greetings --

The Windows 25-character Product Key (required to perform the
installation) is stored on the CD packaging on a bright orange sticker
that says "Do not lose this number." If it was an OEM (factory
installed) license, it's stored on a label that the PC manufacturer
affixed to the exterior of the PC case, or on the bottom of a laptop.

To recover a lost Product Key:

If your system still runs, you should be able to use AIDA32
Enterprise from http://www.aida32.hu/aida32.php to find the Product
Key. (If you have a factory-installed OEM license, and haven't since
reinstalled the OS, the revealed Product Key is probably of the drive
image used at the factory and not _your_ specific Product Key;
therefore, it probably cannot be -- and definitely should not be --
used for a re-installation.)

If it was a retail license and you have proof of purchase:

If it was an OEM license, you should contact whomever sold you the
PC; although very few manufacturers/vendors keep records of the
Product Keys they've sold, it's worth a try before you have to buy a
new license.

If the machine is still bootable - and it *may* be, get the free Aida
32, enterprise edition from
http://www.aida32.hu/aida-download.php?bit=32
which is an excellent general System Info tool, and its Software -
Licenses page will tell you the one used for Windows and ones for
several other items.

If you have got past the formatting I fear you are indeed SOL
