WIN XP SP/2 Activation

[-0MEGA-] · 07-06-2005, 03:43 AM

I dont know if any of you have had this problem, but i hate it how windows xp home or pro with service pack 2 requires activation, i have a legit copy of windows, but i had so many problems with my computer that i had to reinstall it alot, and after so many uses (im guessing around 10), you can use that CD-Key anymore. Have any of you had this problem? and if so, what did you do about it?

My hard drive was wiped a couple times, XP reinstalled with the same key, i usually called the hotline, entered the key, and when they said there was a problem and hooked me up with someone in Uzbekistan and they asked if and why I was going to reinstall it for the second time, I just said my HD was wiped and they allowed me to activate it.

are you still using the computer they you put on ebay? maybe you get pay more if you include the goodies on the drive.

if i included all my games, then i would have to give them the CD's too, cause most of them require them to work.
