Just for your info, I arrived at this site because I also have received
a zd8000 for to be reinstalled (viruses/spyware etc.) from a friend,
and thought I'd google before trying the install. (It made me a bit
worried!)

He also had no backup/restore/install disks.

I've just done a brand new install using the OEM CD belonging to my PC
(but using his XP product code). Worked perfectly, and activated
without problem.

Maybe your problem lies elsewhere? Good luck anyway!
