I have Windows XP pro oem w/ COA and a real install disk, I have the same os
installed on 2 partitions as a dual boot. Same serial on both but different
product id. I now get the pirated version warning, I think it is seeing my
two partitions as separate computers. At one time it passed the validation
test, but after replacing video card it failed. Microsoft is no help (oem)
and the seller is no longer available. Again it is a legal os, I have even
checked all security feature again examples on MS website. TX b
 
Hi

What you have done is illegal - using the same PK for 2 installations.
That's why you are now getting the pirated message.

Is there a way to fix it? Delete a partition?

Hi

You'll have to delete one of the partitions, yes. Although you may still
run into problems and will have to contact your OEM supplier.

Oem Supplier is no longer available, anyway to "reset" or something? I
really don't care to have it on 2 partitions, I done it playing around (now
I wish I hadn't)
