Windows XP operating system does not accept the product key on the COA label

Hi all

After moving to get my laptop fixed I decided it was for long a new copy of Windows XP.
After formatting the hard drive, I can't find my recovery cd!

So I decided to borrow my CD Windows XP Professional of brothers, which I'm sure that Service Pack 2 has built in.

When you try to use my product key on the COA label under the laptop he simply refuses to accept it. :(
Any ideas? I use the wrong version of windows?

The label says 'Windows XP Professional 1-2CPU'
Can I get the Toshiba recovery cd or that would be too expensive.

Any advice would be great, thank you very much.
Concerning
Jay.

Hello

> Can I get the Toshiba Recovery CD or who would be too expensive.
Yes, it is possible. You can order the recovery of the AEP CD in your country and it should be cheap

I m not 100% sure why the key to the COA label cannot be accepted. Maybe you laptop came with XP Home Edition only and that is why it does not work with XP PRO.

  • Need to create a back-up of installer of windows 7 on my drive flash, but because the site does not accept my product key

    Original title: product key error Windows 7

    Hello!

    I need to clean my office completely. However, I had installed on this PC by a company, with that I can't connect, and the windows Web site does not accept my product key.

    Step 1: Download a copy of Windows 7:

    For 5 years, Microsoft made it fairly easy for users of the Windows 7 operating system to get reinstall media. If you have lost your support disc or installation retail collection; either it has been damaged or defective; You can download a copy of the edition that you have licensed from a membership site called Digital River. More recently, Microsoft ended the availability to reinstall media that you can download as a. File ISO in Digital River, which is a digital reproduction of an optical disc.

    It was particularly convenient for people who could not easily get the manufacturer's recovery media, did not want to pay the fees required to get or preferred a clean configuration without the software packaged manufacturers or even a recovery partition does not work. It's easy to use, all you had to do was reinstall and reactivate using the product key located on the certificate of authenticity and download all the drivers on the manufacturers website.

    Given that this option is no longer available, what are your options? See the article for more details:

    How to: What are my options for Windows 7 reinstall media?

    Make sure you scroll down and read the section:

    What to do if you cannot get your manufacturer recovery media, refuse to use or to buy it or the Microsoft Software Recovery Website does not work?

    Step 2: Perform a custom installation, see Windows 7 section of the following article how to perform a custom installation:
