View 8 Replies View RelatedI installed Windows XP on my computer, but since it wasn't a legit version, I did not activate it using the phone or the internet options.Now that I have a new, legit Windows XP CD, I need you guys to help me get rid of the previous installs on my hard drive and install this new CD. When I start the computer with the New CD in the CD tray, it doesn't load it, it just goes to asking if you would like to activate windows. So how am i supposed to install the new CD?Or can I activate an un-legit copy of windows using a legit License key?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am having odd problems with XP on my laptop. I installed XP on a new Hard Drive a few weeks ago. I then added SP 1 and SP 2. I downloaded all the hot fixes. I installed from the Dell site as much as I could. ( The original OS was windows ME) Now the System Restore does not work. It goes through the gyrations then comes back and says "system not restored". When I click on the Help or restore settings nothing happens. I cleared the restore points last week and set a new restore point. When I tried it it worked fine. I went back to check this week and it didn't work again. Other problems with mouse installation, USB settings, and odd start up and shut down problems makes me think that there is corruption in windows. I put the Windows XP CD in to see if I could fix some of these problems. I thought maybe reinstalling basic Windows without reformatting would fix the problem. A warning came up and said the copy of windows in my machine is newer than the one on the disk and if I continued I would lose all settings. I assume it means SP1 and SP2. Can I fix this without starting all over again? Also would it be possible to partition my HD and put a new copy of XP on the partition; then transfer from the old copy?
