I recently installed a copy of XP on a computer at home and didn't have my
product ID handy so I used one from my HP laptop. Now I can't activate it,
of course, since it's already been activated. I located my other product
key. Is there any way to enter/update the new product key into XP so I
don't have to do a complete reinstall with it?

I need to activate in 3 days.

Thanks much.
 
I have this issue with a PC at work where running Scandisk in windows
freezes the system, it freezes at checking FAT. Scandisk runs OK from the
DOS prompt.

This is a win98se box with all updates and patches as of today.
