I've just bought a new computer complete with OEM version of XP.
However I want to use the Hard Drive from my old machine, complete
with its current XP installation, setup etc.
Only trouble is, I can't get updates, it has a validation problem
which is fair enough (not sure where the original XP installation was
done as I bought the old system second hand).
I have the new OEM version of XP - How do I re-validate/register/ or
whatever I need to do to access the updates.
I'm hoping I don't have to reinstall.
So what do I do?
You can try to use MS's in PK changer to put in the Product Key that
came with the new computer:
http://download.microsoft.com/download/e/9/c/e9c73b60-bff1-4f03-b06f-d3cbe8f8d9f4/KeyUpdateTool.exe
If that doesn't work, and you got a REAL reinstall disk with your new
computer, you could do a repair install:
