Re: Windows Pro Key

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Why is it that a lack of disks, codes and no OEM sticker makes MS
useless. Obtaining a Product Key depends on information you didn't
post ( type of XP Professional - Retail, OEM or VLK ) what brand
of PC. No computer should over it's life should experience three failed
disk drives

Support has changed. Companies cannot ( or shouldn't ) have to
contend with customers who loose important data or don't take the
steps necessary to protect their investment. You don't call GM when
you misplace your car keys.

I'm sorry that I can't give you helpful advice but as I do this for my
living I'm getting less and less sympathetic to users who loose the disk,
keys and don't make proper backups.
