Is there a way to fix it? Delete a partition?

Hi

What you have done is illegal - using the same PK for 2 installations.
That's why you are now getting the pirated message.

I have Windows XP pro oem w/ COA and a real install disk, I have the same
os installed on 2 partitions as a dual boot. Same serial on both but
different product id. I now get the pirated version warning, I think it
is seeing my two partitions as separate computers. At one time it passed
the validation test, but after replacing video card it failed. Microsoft
is no help (oem) and the seller is no longer available. Again it is a
legal os, I have even checked all security feature again examples on MS
website. TX b
