XP Pro license error code:0x80070002

I HAVE A “VLK” WIN XP-PRO CD WHICH WAS INSTALLED OK ON MY OLD HD. ADDED NEW HD, FORMATTED W/PM 7.0.
AFTER INSTALL OF XP-PRO COULD NOT LOG IN TO ACCESS PROGRAM. (ERROR: A PROBLEM IS PREVENTING WINDOWS FROM ACCURATELY CHECKING THE LICENSE FOR THIS PC, ERROR CODE:OX80070002).I HAVE A DUAL-BOOT SETUP HAVING INSTALLED WIN98 PREVIOUSLY.I TRIED MS KNOWLEDGE BASE ARTICLE Q310794,BUT THE REGISTRY KEYS THEY SUGGESTED DELETE WERE NOT IN MY REGISTRY AS PRINTED.(THIS HAS TO DO WITH RESETTING THE DEFAULT SECURITY PROVIDER IN WIN-XP) THEIR 2ND SUGGESTION, RESET DRIVE LETTER OF THE SYSTEM DRIVE, IN CHECKING THE REGISTRY, THE EXISTING DRIVE LETTER WAS CORRECT. PLEASE HELP.
