How to reactivate XP product key when you're DEAF?

My computer with XP died and I removed the hard drive and put it in an external enclosure.

I also a Mac that I installed Parallels and then my OS XP, everything was working fine until my parallels had a file error which means I had to uninstall to reinstall it and XP, unfortunately the problem reoccured a few days later and had to uninstall everything again.
Since I got my problem fixed parallels but when I went to reinstall my XP it would not accept my product key, used 3 times.
So now I have all my CAD work locked on my external hard drive and cannot open because I can no longer install my XP using my cd/product key.
I tried to get help, but as I am deaf, I can't use the phone help because my XP is no longer connected to the internet, I can't go online for help. Microsoft stopped me display of information because I am on a Mac.
Is there someone out there who can help?

As long as you can access this Microsoft forum, you should be able to access the Internet New Zealand relay:

EDIT: Oops. My mistake. Can't make international calls through this service. I wonder if there are a number of Microsoft in New Zealand? Or call toll-free (800) to the United States would not?
In the future, you can image your drive (or virtual drive) so that you will NEVER need to install XP again.

    Assuming that you had bought a copy of the sale at retail of Office 2010 (i.e., it not was not preinstalled by the manufacturer of the computer or downloaded and installed using a "product key card"), just install it on the new system and turn on normally.  In some cases, you may use telephone activation and explain the circumstances (i.e., the old computer is dead).

  • What is the best way to transfer your license of Windows product key when you sell your older hardware?

    Hello

    I wanted to just see what others suggest, when planning on the sale of your more old hardware to family or friends and ensure the maximum payment and trade-in value.  I have a laptop that I will probably remove the Windows operating system and installs an open source OS top. I intend to sell the laptop of the family, and I'm little warily to get paid as much as I want for her.  I think that one option could be to remove the product key sticker, until I paid, and then send the product to them key sticker separately or is it really important and should leave the sticker on the computer because the laptop was first recorded in my name and my address.  I read your suggestions on how to handle this matter. THX ;)

    You are not supposed to do. License is part of the machine, remove the sticker isn't fair, since you sell the machine, the license must be sold with it.

    In addition, you cannot use the license elsewhere.

    The OEM of Windows 7 versions are identical to the versions commercial full license with the following exception:

    -OEM versions don't offer any free direct support from Microsoft technical support Microsoft

    -OEM Licenses are tied to the computer first you install and activate it on

    -OEM versions allow all hardware upgrades except for an upgrade to a different model motherboard

    -OEM versions does not move directly from an older Windows operating system

    If you have Office pre-installed on your computer when you bought it, it is a trial version.

    You must purchase Office, once the trial has been exhausted.

    The product key on your computer's operating system Vista, not the Office Applications.

    You can buy Office from the link above, or your local computer/Dept store.

    Hello

    That's what you're looking for if XP came preinstalled:

    The COA sticker is either or in the battery compartment on the underside of the laptop.

    With a desktop computer, it's on the side, the back or the top of the computer case.

    If it is lost and you have wiped the hard drive, your only option is to contact the manufacturer of the computer.

  • How can I get the product key when missing / or fainted at a group of letters and numbers on the Microsoft product labels?

    I am able to see some numbers and letters of a product on the Microsoft label key I bought and you must activate the product. Does anyone know how to find the product key otherwise?

    Your response is much appreciated!

    Hello

    If vista is preinstalled (Dell, HP, etc.), this should help you:

    In these Forums, it is often recommended to use a magnifying glass and a flashlight to see if you can read the numbers of the product key on the label.

    Also that, read also:

    You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks and to reinstall the operating system.

    They should do this for a small fee.

    And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.

    The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

    Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

    Ask them to the proper key sequence.

    The methods above resettlement generally do not require allows you to provide a product key during Installation, the recovery process uses the Installation product key factory to activate automatically during the resettlement process.

    My computer has been updated and I have to reactivate everything, including Microsoft office. When I bought my computer, it came with already installed in my computer. Now, he asks me the product key, which I did not. How to access my product key 25 character on my laptop?

    With Windows 8, Microsoft changed stickers that have the product key that the user must type in during the installation of the operating system of new embedded BIOS product key. The idea is that by eliminating the tile, you eliminate one of the easiest ways for nefarious users get a legitimate product key. The sticker also eliminating product key removes any concern that the vignette could get damaged while at the same time eliminating the long and irritating the process of typing in various letters and numbers in the installation of the operating system.

This means that these stickers familiar windows product key will no longer appear on Windows 8 computers.

The factory restore process is normally called by pressing a key of function (such as F11) to start the computer. There will be a message as to what function key press the screen when you start your computer. You can also consult the manual of your computer or the computer mftr.'s site, or contact technical support to learn how to restore your computer if you plant from each computer mftr. He does it differently - sometimes even between models.

    These machines also generally have a utility to create physical recovery disks in case the hard drive needs to be replaced or the factory restore image is somewhat damaged. If you have not created the recovery image recovery physical and/or damaged disks, contact technical support of computer mftr. to order a set of recovery disks. It is normally very expensive, around $25-50.
