It was an Ode to "The Man, The Legend, The Scummy One". Stop Trolling me. I am upset enough already.

The product keys for OEM versions (like that which most likely came installed on the Acer) and retail versions (possibly what is on the recovery disc) are not interchangeable.

Your friend may need to contact Acer for a recovery disc. http://support.acer.com/

You may have to speak to someone in Pakistan by telephone, or wherever they do it now, and sweet-talk them, as I had to do on more than one occasion, reinstalling my retail XP on different systems.

Instead of focusing on how this affects us personally, we should try to be understanding of others as well.

After all, right now? It's all about Scott's family and what they are going through. Not about how we are dealing with this news.
