| 461877 | 2006-06-09 10:01:00 | Are you trying to install a version of XP, that has already been installed on another computer? And XP is still installed on this other computer? If so, you cant. It may install, but you'll have problems activating it. And if you dont activate it, it'll lock you out, after 30 days. |

| 461879 | 2006-06-09 10:27:00 | Is this a proper Windows CD or a Product Disc (as given out by most major retailers when you buy the computer)? If its a product cd and you have made certain hardware changes (such as replaced motherboard, or even a CD drive) it could make the product disc null and void. If this is the case, look for another (proper Windows) CD. Likewise if you are installing a product disc onto another computer, the hardware will definitely be different, and again you won't be able to install to that computer. |
