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.

  • Windows 7 product key not recognized by windows

    I have the HP dv6-3122us laptop with windows 7 Home premium preinstalled with Office Starter 2010 reason for all the problems of the system listed in convenience stores, that I ended up having to restore the default values.

It shows a lot of files when pulled upwards, but originally before the resstore, there were only about 8 GB used. My other problem is that it asks my product key to activate windows and does not recognize the one I provided with the PC says that I might have to buy another key. If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated! Also my guarantee for the PC is no longer valid. Micorsoft says to contact the manufacturer, the manufacturer says to contact Microsoft.

    It won't work because the product key has been for an OEM different to install your trying to install a retail business instead of OEM product key which will not work. That's why your do pass this message. What version of Windows you are trying to re - install? When you reinstalled you wipe the HARD drive and the partition hidden as well? Maybe when you reinstall again to install the Windows 7 home premium and who should install. Put it this way you have Home Premium and no future install disc you use will have to be Home Premium to use the product key that is located on the sticker on your laptop. You do not get to use the product key for Windows 7 Ultimate version, it works that way or or she will let you.

  • Foreign key constraint, not recognized during the synchronization of data with the model dictionary

    Hello

    Data Modeler is a foreign key constraints do not recognize when synchronizing data with the model dictionary, although the foreign key is there (in the database that a data dictionary is read). I can't find any criterion when a foreign key is not recognized by the Data Modeler. Are there limits to the length of the attribute, or the number of columns in a foreign key, or other limitations which may lead to this behavior not to recognize a fk by Data Modeler? I have columns more than 32 characters. I compared with the fk is recognized by DM, but I can't find anything that indicates why it is not recognized.

    I wonder if someone also has constraints of foreign keys that are not recognized in the comparison of data bases and model?

  • Solution: The USB floppy drive is not recognized during installation of XP of RAID

    Hello

    This Solution is for notebooks Qosmio with RAID driver during (manual installation of windows)

    I found the Solution to this problem,

    [When you install Microsoft Windows XP by using a floppy drive USB on a player who]
    requires a driver during the installation, the USB floppy drive is not recognized in all
    installation. When Windows XP searches the driver of the second time, he will not be able to see
    the floppy USB drive drive and prompts the user for the driver (RAID) again.
    The installation will never reach this point. ]

    Solution:

    This is a limitation of Microsoft, the Floppy Drive are do not appear in the file Windows 'txtsetup.sif.

    Simply change the floppy drive in another brand and avoid Usb 2.0 external Usb floppy plus old 1 Try
    Also note the back of drive sometimes they write (no bootable) avoid this also

    I personally Test this and it does not work it is "IBM Portable floppy drive" drive silver

  • LaserJet Pro P1102w installation problems - USB not recognized during installation

    Struggling to configure the P1102w - using the installation DVD that accompanies it, I go through the steps. When I get to ' turn on the printer, connect the USB cable to the computer ' the printer is not recognized. Is not dismiss it, he just can't get it - it is with Windows 8.1.

    Tried it on another laptop running Windows 7 - same problem. The installer sat on the market "in waiting to connect to the printer via the USB port.  When you connect, Windows recognizes a USB device and tried to install the device - came with an error that could not be recognized and need to contact the manufacturer for the installation files.

    Update Windows, computer rebooted several times, deleted the HP installation files and tried with drivers downloaded from HP website - same problem.

    Any ideas?

    I had the same problem when working on a clients computer.

    (1) it has been infected by viruses, so we had to make a Virus removal on his computer.

    So you want to make sure that your computer is virus-free

    (2) in most Windows 8 HP computers in particular, drivers automatically installs on the computer.

    Check your device manager and click on printers. It will show what is connected.

    On my computer it shows printers >

    I had to uninstall it, to install the software. Once I did that the computer was able to recognize the USB cable.

    I have a Sony Vaio VPCEH computer laptop with Windows 7 and when I run the disk I got with the printer on my laptop, that the installation procedure works in what concerns the section "Install printer Software". When you are prompted to turn on the printer and connect the cable USB to the laptop it says 'USB not recognized '.  I tried all 4 slots USB into my laptop but the USB still appears as an unknown device with an exclamation point in a yellow triangle. I searched internet solutions and tried to uninstall the unknown device in Device Manager and restart the installation with the disc, I also tried clicking on the unknown device driver software update but it says the software driver is up to date and still, it shows as an unknown device and is not recognized. I also tried to uninstall the HP software from the disc on my laptop and that reinstall but nothing has worked. I felt for over 2 weeks now and have not been able to use it because of this problem and I really need for University, so I would be very happy if someone could please give me a solution to this problem

    Hi @Janemaguire,

    Have you tried another USB cable?

    Because the printer is not detected on the Mac, it may be the USB port of the printer.

    What happened when you tried to install the printer on Mac?

    Error messages?

    What is the model Laserjet P1102w?

  • Floppy USB drive not recognized when installing WinXP on Satellite Pro L40

    History:

    I bought a Satellite Pro L40, it came with windows vista. I can't stand vista windows for obvious reasons. so I formatted the HARD drive. I have a copy of windows XP.

    IV ' e read on the internet that I need Intel storage driver manager...

    IA´ve got the driver, he got on a floppy, and it does not, because when I start to install XP, it works (after pressing F6 & choose the driver to install). I come to the part of license agreement, press F8 accept...

    I select the partition I want to use (in format completely on vista). It starts to load more stuff... so he said "PLEASE INSERT LABELD - INTEL MATRIX STORAGE MANAGER DRIVER - DISK IN DRIVE A:" "PRESS ENTER WHEN READY."

    The disc that I used in the first place is always in. when I press on enter, nothing NOT to PAST (the USB floppy drive is not yet into action)

    How can I make it work? It is that I can get.

    I DON'T WANT BACK TO VISTA - HELP!

    This could happen if the floppy USB doesn t drive supports the standards of law. Some people have reported on different websites many floppy drives are not recognized.

    However, worry guy. I have a solution ;) (jeaaa: D)

    Try to create a new XP CD using the software called nLite!
    Then, you could include the SATA (Intel Matrix Storage Manager) driver in this new CD and then you could boot from the XP CD again.

    For details and how to use the nLite please Google because there are a lot of useful Web sites.

  • Error message: product key not valid during activation of FSX Acceleration Pack

    Original title: problems to activate FSX Acceleration Pack

Inside the box of however, there was only a single activation code, saying clearly "FSX Deluxe.  FSX Deluxe activated perfectly, but I'm not able to activate FSX acceleration due to the absence of key I guess. I tried to use the same key as Deluxe, but it says it is invalid.

    I tried following the instructions of technical support, but they ask the number PI, that I wouldn't find anywhere in FSX Deluxe (which is already activated and good work) or FSX Acceleration (works only in mode activate later ).

    We could solve this here or should I go back to the retailer?

  • Windows XP key not recognized

    I had to perform a recovery on my Toshiba laptop and Microsoft has refused to acknowledge the key of Windows (XP) which was fixed at the base of the computer.  The computerized phone system repeated that the key indicated that the my system has been cloned?  It is impossible that I bought the computer new laptop from PC World a few years ago.  Any suggestions?

    If you use the installation media that Toshiba has given you (or you have created some processes on the machine itself, when you bought first it) do set of the product key to the machine (if you still enter one during their process) should be correct.

    If you, on the contrary, is turned off and got your own installation media and then try to use the afixed product key to the machine - which may fail (for several reasons).

    your machine has a RAID controller, so before installing windows, you must install the RAID controller before. This occurs after you´ve began installing XP. Then a message on the bottom of the screen will appear that tells you that you must press F6 if you install HARD drive controllers (or something that way).
    You need to install the RAID driver from a USB floppy drive, which can be downloaded here:
