WINDOW XP PRO

[JAME]

I purchased the original window XP professional CD few years back and I have
the product key which is provided along with it from Microsoft, I formatted
my system several times as I was having problems with virus and other system
related issues. Now when I use this CD it format the system and go through
all the steps till I reach the product key part another window opens asking
me to contact Microsoft for new product key, please let me know what I have
to do about this problem.
I have the original CD, Original Product key, purchase invoice and the
product bar code.
Thank you

You should ask the question in a group with Windows in the title, as this is
a group for programming questions. That said, the process is telling you to
contact Microsoft at a particular phone number. My experience is that they
are noting that the disk has been used before, and will simply give you a
code to reinstall on the same computer when you call. The process is fairly
painless....
