If you have a legal "code" (OEM) for your copy of Windows, and it's not used on any other computer, call up Microsoft's technical support and speak to them.\n\nThey should be able to guide you through the process to validate your copy of Windows.\n\nThis has happened to me before and my solution worked.

All the other things will stop working if you wipe it clean and start over. However, you should be able to re-install a legitimate copy of Windows over top of the existing one and everything in the registry for the other programs will be kept, and the programs should still work....even if they are counterfeit.\nMine came with XP Home Edition already installed.

Windows XP does not accept to work on other machines than the one that been installed into.\nmeans, when you install windows XP on hard drive in machine1, you can not run that windows by moving hard drive in machine2.\n\nYou need to install new Windows XP into this old hard while in machine2.\n\n\nXLMan

you tap the F8 key to get to the menu for last known good configuration.\nIf you need the cd, you can get it from compaq, if they are not availiable, there are a couple of third party online companies that sell them, or you could just install windows xp with someone else's cd and use your code on the case
