Part of my xp product key is missing from my proof of the license sticker

I wiped my hard drive a missing to re install windows media xp home edition on my laptop to see

There is a small flaw on the sticker of the laptop product key so I'm missing two numbers so cannot install xp!.

There is no damage on the bar code and also the 14-digit number is always visible.

Can I get the product key full in some way, or if I can get another product key?

If you use Recovery Windows from the manufacturer of your computer or reinstall drive, chances are you do not be prompted to enter a product key, since the Windows license is an OEM SLP.

Please see: How to replace Microsoft software for more information on how to contact the manufacturer of your computer for help.

  • Windows product key doesn't work is not for the reinstallation of Windows 7

    So my Lenovo (B560) became super slow and I want to wipe the hard drive and reinstall Windows 7. But when I looked on the Microsoft Web site and tried to check my key I received the following message is displayed:

    "The product key you have entered seems to be the software that was preinstalled by the manufacturer of the device. Contact the manufacturer of the device for software recovery options.

    The product key that I used was the COA sticker under the laptop which was indeed different from one I receovered from the register. In any case, I tried both and none worked.

    Ideas for how can I proceed?

    You must install OEM Lenovo recovery disks or a recovery partition to use the key.

    My errased sticker product key and I can't read all the text to reactivate my windows visa. What should I do now?

    Hello

    You mean the sticker on the case of the Vista operating system pre-installed from Dell, HP, Acer, Toshiba, etc.) ?

    If you do, you can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

    They should do this for a small fee.

    To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:

    You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

    How to change the Boot order in BIOS:

    "How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246

    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.

    And if you do not score a manufacturer of recovery on your hard drive, you should be able to make your own recovery from her disks to reinstall the operating system.

    Go to programs > name of the manufacturer of your computer > then their system or recovery tools software topics for them, depending on how it is formulated.

    If you can't find any reference to it, contact the manufacturer for advice on how to make these recovery disks.

    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.

  • type of product key and he says that's not the right number

    I typed in the product key, but he says that's not the right number.  I checked it several times.  It's a HP Windows Vista Home Premium.

    As HP shipped computers with Windows preinstalled, it is likely that you are using the incorrect product key. The Windows product key is usually in a label in the computer chassis, while the office is usually available to a box or envelope.

What should I do to go on the record as owning this software?

  • Replaced my hard drive and my product key is missing

    I just replaced my hard drive on my computer and went through the installation process. I have a legitimate version of windows that was recorded before. This is the same computer, but I can't find my product key for Finnish installation. I tried to call, but the given number cannot be reached in my region... apparently. Is there some way that since then I taped the product key can be recovered? I really need this for school so the sooner the better.

    I was searching the Internet and ran across this site: http://windowskeymarket.com they do not always have the key I was looking for this is why I missed it before, it really depends on if they are in the stem. This time they did it. Thanks for the help!

  • My 25 character product key is not recognized, as well as the mass storage controller is missing.

    two problems RY5U870-ImageSensor06 not recognized as mass storage controller is not found

    My 25 character product key is not recognized as mass storage controller is missing and a meesage RY5U870_Image Sensor06 is not compatible. I use a computer laptop sony vaio a dell windows vista Home premium 32 - bit boot disk that I got no problem other than the unrecognized product key it for activation of windows has never been made. I hope that I have ave explained it well enough for someone to solve these issues. Dale a lot thanks

    The question of activation is because you cannot use a Dell OEM of Windows version to activate on a Sony.

    The questions ImageSensor and mass storage controller are likely due to the fact that the Dell installation media is not the device driver appropriate for your Sony computer motherboard.

  • Reactivation when the product key is missing

    I am trying to help a friend get his machine re-enabled.

    He is retired and use it for browsing the web by e-mail and Word.

    I helped to set up a machine cheap with a copy of xp over 18 months ago, I think.

    He ordered the bits and I set up and installed the software.

    Recently, he asked to reactivate windows, but refused.  He lost the product key and details where he bought the material and the copy of xp.

    He has not contacted me, until after the 30 day period has expired and it has been locked out of his machine.

    I lent him a spare machine so it works but I will soon return.

    I don't think that the copy was a pirate, one that I would have had him return it for a refund if it was, I was convinced certaily it when I installed so it was a good copy, if it is.  The looks of genuine cd hologram is not glued on.

    I tried different routes to get active but am getting sent round in circles.  The last suggested email try here.

    Have already done once for microsoft, suspicious, it was a delaying tactic in the hope that the problem will disappear.

    Abandoned and re-installed XP from scratch with the full commercial license I did not use (which means I lose a license that I could have used for something else).

    If I help someone build a machine in the future, it will not be provided, it is with the open software source, microsoft anti piracy stuff is so bad, that it is not worth to buy their software.

    I was going to put my four machines to windows 7, but having to deal with this problem microsoft has changed my mind, I'm tired of being treated like a criminal by an organization that I spent a good amount of money with over the years.

    I've owned copies of 3.11, 95, 98, 98se, XP, vista 32 & 64 and it is getting worse.

    I reach the conclusion that linux fan boys a point
