Trouble Installing XP under VPC 6 - Not Reading CD.

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry


Installed VPC 6 on a G3 running OS X 10.3.9

Attempted to use XP Enterprise CD, but VPC will not see or boot from
it.

Had to install XP Pro from VPC 6 install CD's. However XP Pro will not
license from the XP Enterprise Keys. Nor will it authenticate with the
1 spare XP professional key the company has available.

I am thinking since I installed from VPC install OS XP pac that its
looking for a specific VPC-XP OS key set.

Any ideas on how I can proceed? I need to use either the enterprise CD
and key, or some way to install XP that will take the one spare XP Pro
license or the enterprise license.
