If you still have your license key, contact Microsoft and they can help clear this issue up.  Yeah, I know, it's a pain.  Good luck.

Do you mean that you want to download Windows XP?\n\nNot something I'd recommend doing - I know you can get hold of copies illegally but who knows what other stuff is going to be bundled in with it.  You could end up causing yourself no end of problems.\n\nBetter to go out and buy a legitimate copy, they're not that much, plus you get warranties/guarantees and proper updates etc.\n\nIf it's instructions that you're after then you don't need any as it's all self explanatory during the installation procedure.

If you have a pirated version of Microsoft Windows then your options are deffinately limited.  If you want it truely "Genuine" then you should purchase a product key through a licensed vendor.  Otherwise, you may be able to find what you're looking for on peer2peer networks such as kazaa, emule, limewire, etc...

Are you using a valid microsoft XP key?\n\n\nSearch for this error in www.microsoft.com.\n\nError code 0x80004005\nThis problem may occur if a file that the Windows Product Activation (WPA) requires is damaged or missing. This behavior occurs if one or both of the following conditions are true: • A third-party backup utility or an antivirus program interferes with the installation of Windows XP. \n• A file that WPA requires is manually modified.

I had a copy of Windows XP that had a key number that wouldn't be accepted, so I had to phone Microsoft to get a new number.\n\nI don't know if this is possible with Microsoft Office, but if it is, it shouldn't cost you anything. The call should be toll free too.\n\nI'm not sure if this will work, but look in tools/manage add ons to see if there is an active x control that is creating the product key message.\n\nIf you have a copy of Windows XP that you want to update from Microsoft's site, sometimes you get a message saying the product key isn't valid, so you can't download security updates. This is due to an activex control that can be disabled. It is perfectly legal btw to disable this activex control, whether or not your product key is valid.

If you registered with Microsoft, call their support and they may be able send you copy. Most likely it is out of support so    you may be SOL

Just borrow a Windows XP Home Edition CD from one of your friends and use your product key.  It should work just fine.

Should have come with your software. Unless of course you bought a pirated copy :( I believe I read something about XP and future editions of Windows will be configured to become inoperable on the host computer if the key is entered into another computer (like if you buy a new computer and load your copy of xp on it, it will become inoperable on the old computer)

do a system restore before you got the message\nthen do not download the windows genuine notification with your windows updates( unchecked it in your updates)\n\nthere are a lot of great things you can get by having a genuine copy of xp. See if you can get a legitimate license for it through your school or university. It will be free or at a large discount.\n\nMicrosoft's is still providing the critical updates to non legit copy's of xp and the will keep doing so.\n\nMicrosoft turning off xp is still only conjecture based on the fact when they were asked they had no comment at one point and because of how often the genuine advantage program phoned home\n\nalso if someone sold you a bad copy of xp you can turn them in and get a free copy \n\nif it came with the os and you know you did not get a pirated copy contact Microsoft and there is a good chance they will fix your problem for you. ( they are nicer that people think - on the phone that is )\n\nfrom Microsoft\n\nComplimentary offer: Microsoft will make a complimentary copy of Windows XP available to customers who have been sold counterfeit Windows. Customers will be required to submit a proof of purchase, the counterfeit CD, and a counterfeit report with details of their purchase. Only high-quality counterfeit Windows will qualify for the complimentary offer.\n\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/genuine/downloads/FAQ.aspx?displaylang=en#Question5Label

The MS online electronic validation key is $99 for XP Home and $149 for XP Pro, both with SP2.  You can usually find legal versions (recommend full install rather than upgrade) for less at:  www.edirectsoftware.com\n\nYou can do a repair with the full install Cd and enter the new 25 digit Product Key.  That will give you a legal version as well as repair any missing or corrupt files.  You will have to go into the MS Updates to reinstall any patches or hot fixes.  The repair takes about 1 hr, and the reinstalls of fixes/patches about another 30 minutes.

Hi,\n\nTry using the Windows Product Key Update Tool, available here:\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/genuine/selfhelp/PKUInstructions.aspx\n\nThis should allow you to put in your now genuine copy's key to overwrite the other one. It should also check the windows system files to make sure they're valid too.\n\nPlus a thumbs up for your q ;)\n\nHTH

If you only installed an additional hard drive that should have had no bearing on the XP Install Key. \nDid you purchase XP from a retailer or on-line?\nIs this computer a used computer you got from someone else or purchased new with this operating system installed?\n\nIn the new patches for XP there is a new key check process.\n\nIf you purchased the CD On-line, you most likely got scammed and it's not a legal copy.\nIf you purchased from a retailer I hope you saved your receipt as I would bring it back for an exchange if possible. (not likely)\nIf you had it preinstalled on the computer and purchased the computer new, you need to contact the tech support of the computer manufacturer to clear it up.\nIf you purchased the computer used, pre-installed you do not have a legal copy of XP.  \nHope this helps.

You need to make adjustments to the hard drive prior to replacing the MOBO (i.e. when it is still running in the previous system). About a month ago, I uploaded (to a friends Web page) the step-by-step instructions,  to help others with this problem. \nOr, you will have to format and reinstall everything (OS included) \nassuming  Win XP, and your original key code will not work if you reinstall again to a different hardware profile (each 25 digit key code, produces a hardware ID code) which is only viable on that machine.(unless you use the work-around) - http://www.geocities.com/samamouster@sbcglobal.net/change_mobo.html
