I purchased a PC from Sony that had Windows XP Home
edition installed. My hard drive recently crashed before
I could get all of the data off (about 70% completed). I
would like to start over with the new hard drive,
installing the operating system from scratch. The issue:
I did not receive any install CD's with the computer but
I do have the Windows XP product key (attached to the
desktop tower). I have obtained a copy of the Windows XP
Home edition ISO but when I try to install, I get the
following error: "Product Key invalid". I'm thinking I
need a different version of XP Home but how do I know
which one and where can I get it? Any help would is
greatly appreciated.
