  • Product key not recognized during a repair of xp pro sp2 on a genuine xp pro sp2 disk. stuck on the main screen of the product.

    After starting problems on my Toshiba satellite with xp pro sp2, I booted my xp pro sp2 disk and did a repair instead of a reinstall software.  He went through the motions, removed the sys files, copied them back and so on.  Then he asked my product key and I typed in it and it does not recognize.  It's a real bought copy of xp pro sp2.  Now, I'm stuck on the main screen of the product.  When I start the laptop on the xp disk it blue screens, the only option I have is to enter a product key in the configuration...  I have my receipt for my xp pro disk and product key for certification sticker.  Help, please!

    "XP MCE Pro? That is not normal! It would be one or the other (AFAIK). Here is an example:

    http://cdn2.ioffer.com/IMG/item/811/353/46/o_XyuQav94U1MQ0Ci.jpg

    If the hybrid you mention is the real thing, it's new to me! I know that some have described as a superset of Pro MCE, but I never used this version, so I can't tell you definitively that a COA sticker wouldn't this combo of terms...

    In addition, the term 'Enterprise Edition' implies something not legitimate. I do not think that Microsoft has never used the term marketing for Windows.

    If you had a legitimate retail version of Windows XP (any version) that is not used on another PC, you can perform a Clean Install (not a repair installation), using this key (not the key COST laptop). The only way you can use the key from your laptop COST would be if you used the correct installation CD - a generic OEM version of the corresponding XP (MCE?) version. In this way, you can perform a clean installation or a repair installation.

    Have you looked at the links I posted? What do you mean by "boot option? The instructions were to press the zero key while turning on the laptop. You are not supposed to enter the OS! The recovery partition is quite distinct.

    If your laptop does not a recovery partition, you should be able to get the correct recovery CD for this Toshiba - by Toshiba or you might need to find a reputable eBay merchant, etc.. Restoredisks.com, who has a good rating from Better Business Bureau, they probably sold too.

    Hi KevinDitner,
     
    I'm afraid, but you can't do that. Your product key Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) should be used only for the laptop which came with it.
     
    You can get the CD of Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2 (SP2) by contacting the Support team customer Microsoft.

  • I am trying to load XP Pro SP2 as the key on the bottom of the system says xp pro. But during installation it says the key is invalid? How can I fix?

    Invalid product key?

    I have an old laptop that I am donating to a charity.  I try to load XP Pro SP2 above, because the key on the bottom says xp pro.  But during installation it says the key is invalid?  How can I fix?

    It is possible that you will need to a disk with SP3 slipstreamed in there - much SP3 keys are a new slice that has been issued and is not recognized by the previous discs.

    Your machone specifies a level of SP? What is the brand / the exact model?

  • Installation of XP pro sp2 stalls to the file teamw.exe then ks.exe and many others.

    I'm trying to re - install XP pro SP2 after a virus attack.  I did a full format on my WD 160 GB hard drive.  Serial ATA Mothboard Biostar G31 - M7 TE with the most recent BIOS.  Generally, installation hangs when you attempt to load the file "teamw.exe" the file depending on whether he's looking for is ks.exe there are twenty others subsequently that it cannot find.  I tried another disc with SP2.  The same problem.  I joined my current version to SP3 with the same result.  Thought it might be a hard drive problem.  A ran the WD disk checker rescuer in the BACK.  No problems found.  I don't think that is the motherboard related.  Would be - this somehow a hard drive problem?  No other equipment still installed.  It drives me crazy.  Thanks for your suggestions!

    Hi Indiana brand,

    Whenever there is a problem with the Windows XP disc, we encounter this type of questions. We recommend trying the following steps and check the result.
    a. installation to launch Windows XP.
    b. when the file fails to copy, remove the disk from the CD drive and insert the other XP CD in the drive to see if the copy process continues successfully.
    c. If the installation continues, complete the installation.

    If all else fails, contact the manufacturer of the system for more support options.

  • Load the new XP Pro SP2 OS on Portege R200

    I have a R200, bought in Russia (where I work). I want to install an English version of XP Pro SP2.

    I intend to reformat and install from scratch. Then load all the utilities of Tosh from a CD, I created.

    Loading the XP CD and restart then the installation of Win XP Pro does not recognize Toshiba PCMCIA DVD Rom CD - RW I plugged.

    So I created the 6 boot disks for SP2 on the site of Ms.

    I start from the startup disk, all goes well but until I get to disk 6. Next, I get the windows error blue screen exception etc.

    Beyond that, I can't get to format the drive for a new installation.

    When start I have now the option for the Win XP Pro and WIn XP Russian, although the latter is going into the installation routine that cannot see a CD drive Yes F3 and restart.

    Any ideas?

    As far as I know that you need a support disk Toshiba (PCMCIA card 16-bit cardbus)
    I found an info that the readers should work:
    PA3402E-1DV2
    -PA3352E - 1 CD 2

    To my knowledge, you must press button P and it should be possible to start PCMCIA player. To boot from the disk, you must use the C key.

  • Windows XP Pro SP2 re - install does not accept the product key.

    I'm trying to re - use the product key on the sticker from the bottom of the laptop.  This is the same computer that was working fine until I decided to reinstall, but I use a different installation media because the laptop (a refurb) never came with the media.  Can I call MS and get it re-authorized?  I have XP Pro SP2 and XP Pro SP3 Reacondicionador media.

    You try to install Windows XP with OEM product key you have on your COA sticker. So be sure that you have a generic Windows XP OEM CD, because VLK or Retail CD does not accept the OEM product key.

  • V.2002 of MS Windows XP Pro SP2 OEM from Newegg in 2006 would not agree on shrinkwrap product key during installation

    I bought v.2002 of MS Windows XP Pro SP2 OEM from Newegg in 2006.  She would never accept the product key during the installation on his blister.  To complete the installation, I used a different key of a second OEM disk, and it worked.  It's been a while since I installed XP; but I was working on this computer lately and realized I never knew why the CD has had this problem or how to fix it.  I have 3 questions.  #1: the key on the blister does not match the key in "unattended installation. TXT "; is this normal?  #2: the key in "unattended installation. TXT doesn't work anymore.  #3.   Any ideas on this subject?  Thank you, Jeff.

    The only thing I can think is that you were consistantly entered a bad key - it's almost unknown fo that there is to be a wrong key on the label and it is much more likely to be a case of misreading of the key, which is not easily read in the best of light (which is why I often use a torch and a magnifying glass).

    I guess it's vaguely possible that this is a substituted forgery (some thieves employee pirateshave shoplifter and employees take to counterfeit and bring out the true copies).

    I'm surprised that the other has worked, if it had already been installed on another PC - they are locked for the life of the first motherboard on which they are enabled.

    The key in the file 'unattend.txt' is a dummy - it cannot be enabled and is not normally get used except in the OPK.

  • DC7800 SFF XP Pro SP2 - SP3 upgrade?

    Hi all. I recently rebuilt several "wiped" DC7800 SFF computers using restore disks. They are now running Win XP Pro SP2. Should I update to SP3 and if so, can I use the standard Microsoft SP3 download or is there a specific HP? Thank you.

    I just did a recovery on a company dc7800 PC yesterday at a customer site. I recommend that you leave to SP2. There are a few security updates Microsoft Update will recommend that you apply if you do not apply SP3. Apply the security updates. The reason why I made this recommendation is to avoid drivers and BIOS problems.

    There is no specific Microsoft Windows SP3 Pro update for the dc7800 provided by HP.
