  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.

• 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.

  Hello

  If your Windows product key is not valid, if you don't have a Windows product key, or if you have lost the product key that came with Windows, you will need to buy a new one to activate Windows.

  See the link below:

• 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.

• Reinstall windows xo pro sp2/sp3?

  Have a laptop with Windows XP Pro SP2 and it is 32-bit. I want to reinstall the OS, but I do not have the CD. How to do this? Where can I get the operating system? Can I download it from any source? Any link?

  Now the latest service pack for XP's SP3. So I can download SP3 from the windows website and install it in my pc. Is it free? At the bottom of my pc

  There is a sticker that shows the product key. But I think it's the product key of Windows XP SP2. I want to know that can I download XP SP3 and use this product key to reinstall the OS? Am I wrong?

  Please explain in detail what to do after I downloaded the OS? I want to download on another computer. How to make a CD so that I can install windows via a CD?

  Probably, your laptop has a depression recovery accessible by the F key or modified mechanism F (for example Ctrl) key at boot time. To learn more about this we need the details of your laptop (brand and model). You can find this documented somewhere in the start menu or in a booklet that came with the laptop.

  In addition, there are probably a facility to create your own recovery CD/DVDs. Again, look in the start menu and in any document paper. If this facility exists, you should do so as soon as possible because it's your only method of recovery in case of hard drive failure.

  Otherwise recovery integrated and/or the creation of recovery media, you will need to contact the manufacturer for recovery media.

  You can download a standalone SP3 Installer of...

  http://www.Microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&ID=24

  .. .This is only a service pack installation, not a full installer of XP operating system. You can ignore the text which says that it is for network installations and also ignore the text informing Windows/Microsoft Update If a single update of a PC. You will not request a product key.

  Indeed you will need this installer of SP3 update of the OS until Windows Update will be operational. Install it before even to try Windows Update.

  Recovery of the manufacturer would not normally require the entry of the product key of your sticker. But if this is the case, the key on the sticker is good for recovery and updates including SP3.

  After recovery, you must uninstall any AV solution came pre-installed, do the SP3 upgrade without being connected to the internet and then install Microsoft Security Essentials for which a standalone installer can be downloaded here, for example...

  .. .or here...

  Then you can connect to the internet and download MSE (or alternative AV) updates and Windows updates.

• Since Firefox v10. Layout, print preview and print do not seem to work with XP PRO SP2 x 64, but normally work with Win7 x 64.

  Layout, simply change line title to the foreground and freezes the screen except for the ability to close the page and return to the page where Page Setup was invoked. This print preview a gray monochrome page with the normal menu features that normally respond except the function of setting of the Page. Print prints a blank page still. Noticed problems with Firefox beta versions 10 and 11 and 12, with XP Pro SP2 x 64. Firefox version 11 has no such problems with Windows 7 ult x 64.
