Pulling hair out

by snuffy09 . Updated 17 years, 1 month ago

I am fixing laptop for a fried. After looking at it, it was clear the operating system needed installed.

I could not get it to boot so I didn?t know what operating system it was running and they didn?t know so I looked for the Microsoft Licensing Tag on the bottom. It clearly reads Windows Xp Home and gives the license key.

I installed my copy of XP Home and when prompt used the key on the bottom of the laptop. It keeps telling me that the key is invalid! So I skipped entering the key at install hoping that after I setup an internet connection it would work better. Still not working, is there anything I can do besides calling M$?

Thanks
