Because volume licensed version of XP are non OEM versions it is little
wonder the OEM key won't work with it.

I don't have a XP OEM cd for my dell laptop. My HD died and I got a
new HD. The only CD I have is XP Pro Corp edition. I can't seem to
get my OEM key code to work on this CD.

Any ideas?

I am not trying to hack it or anything, I have the right to the OEM and
just want it back on my laptop.
