Boot into Vista Business, insert your DVD and do an in-place upgrade using the Product Key. After the (re)installation completes, you should be able to activate. Most likely you will need to phone it in.

Hi guy's
I did a new install with vista business. 'upgrade' . The reason for this
was a new hard drive. I couldn't -then- see the point of installing xp then
vista then start the long hard migration process. I was told of a work
around, so I did.
Now I'm getting 'activation' notices which when I try I get "this is an
upgrade pack not a clean install" failed
Now I have XP disks/codes here which are genuine -can I phone MS and would
they allow me to quote a XP product key rather than having to go through the
whole process again?
All software legit and above board - can send pics to prove ;-)
Any help/work around most welcome
Cheers
Richard
