What does it say on the COA? (*Don't* give us the product key!) You
need to determine also if the license is OEM or Retail.
It doesnt say anything from it.. There's Windows XP Proffesional 1-2
CPU HP

This is a branded (HP), not generic, OEM license.

From what kind of media did you install it?

From a CD.

Please be more specific. What kind of CD? Home or Pro? (I believe you

(and if so, what make? HP? Dell? etc.), or Retail?
