How to fix "invalid Id"then produced transfer XP from an old computer to a new one?

My old computer was damaged by lightning so I bought a new one and am now trying to load XP on it;  but the product key 25 character on the certificate of authenticity at the entrance is met with: ' the kid of product you have entered is not valid.   Assuming that the code has been transcribed exactly where should I go from here?

If you are using a version of OEM Windows XP product key only lights up on the original computer it was installed on and cannot be transferred to another computer.

If however you have a "Full" version of XP, then you can try phone activation.

Not that some new computers not support XP, so check the web site of the manufacturer of the computer XP device drivers for your specific brand and model.
