Ah yes well this is a legit copy of XP however my computer was assasinated by viruses and I had to reinstall, which obviously didn't work out too well with an OEM copy. HP didn't give me a recovery disk and I couldn't make one myself because Vista was an epic fail. So I found a key on the net figuring that I'm not buying another operating system
And the key worked.. until now. Is it actually activated and it's just a question of making it realise this so it doesn't lock me out? lol
