It is a Compact Presario 57300CL purchased from Wal-Mart I think. I went
ahead and contacted Microsoft support with my problem. I am just worried
about this since I activated Windows with my product key. I will let you
know what they have to say. I have ran windows update on both PC's with the
same product key and everything has went well so far, but I know it is just
a matter of time before they axe one of them.
Thanks for your reply.

Hi Birdman,
First of all, you do not need to install Windows 98 in order to install
/ use Windows XP Home Edition Upgrade CD.
You can boot up the computer with the Windows XP Home Edition Upgrade
CD. When ready to reformat and reinstall Windows XP Home Edition, you need
to provide proof of a previous version. That's where the Windows 98 disc
should come into play.
As for Activating Windows XP, use the telephone number and speak with
an individual, not a Voice Robot, in your situation. His Product Key for
Windows XP should still be valid for the computer isn't trashed.
What is the Brand and Model number of that computer in question?

I am working on a computer for a friend that is running Windows XP Home.
It
was eat up with a virus that infected almost everything on the computer
so I
decided to do a new installation. My friend did not have any discs and
pressing F10 at boot, like I have had success with before would not work.
I
had a Windows 98 disc, and a Windows XP Home Upgrade disc, so I installed
Windows 98 with a generic product key and then upgraded to Windows Xp
Home
with my product key. I then planned on changing the product key at the
time
of activation, but it wouldn't take the product key on the sticker on the
PC
case. Now it is activated with my number and I am worried that I will get
in
trouble for this. I never intended to pirate the software. I tried the
Magic
Jelly Bean Key Changer program but it still tells me the Product key is
invalid. My friend has purchased a license when they bought the PC. I
have
not changed the motherboard or anything so I think Microsoft should give
me
a new Product Key that will work. I just don't know how to go about it.
Please Help.
