mother board of (hp comp) computer fryed . installed hd in another computer (dell)but xp wants a activation code from microsoft.! Microsoft does not recognize the activation nbr that xp gives me. This computer is not connected to net. Trying to activate by phone

not much point in xp as its history as of april of this year. putting the hdd with the os in another computer usually causes problems due to chipset and other driver problems. try a clean install and then activate.

Only problem is i need the files on that hdd ,I use it to control a homemade cnc router. Replacing the mother board on the compaq computer would give same problems ?????

Actually I have the product ID but the activation screen for xp uses a different code nbr ( 9 /6 digit nbr (54 total digits) It does give me the option to change the nbr but says (do not change unless told to do so by Microsoft rep.)

Whats stopping you from contacting Microsoft and detailing your problem to them. If you can provide them with a proof of purchase they will gladly give you a key/method to help you along the way.

Choose to activate by phone and then call the Microsoft number provided on the screen. The set of numbers will be provided onscreen which then have to be provided to the automated phone process. A new set of numbers will then be provided to you for each group. Once you have finished transcribing all the numbers, you will be instructed to select "Next". Your Windows XP installation should now be activated.

Sorry I've tried that 3 times ,they say they do not recognize the product

should be a 25 character product key used in activation. if all else fails get another drive to install windows on and use your present drive as a slave so you can keep your files.

I have the 25 character key but xp activate by phone wants an instlation ID number which is provided when the activate by phone screen comes up but I tried it 3 times but after I enter the nbr. the recorded message says it is not recognized by thier system.

To use as a slave drive I need another pwr suppy as mine only has a singe hdd plug on it

one more thing to try is hang on an talk to someone live at ms.check your pms.

Have you thought about going to a freeware OS? Ubuntu? Linux? Considering how MS isn't going to keep the XP in its lineup any longer however OEM's were thought to be on that edge for a lil while longer.

If its files you'll need Aldan has made a good point. IF its trying to maintain the same drive integrity and programmes, you're biting down on your luck there.

Well I think my luck has run out ,I was in the process of backing up that hard drive when the board blew ! I had intended to backup a long time before soooo my fault. The mach 3 machining program will not run on Linux or Ubuntu asfar as I know.

Thanks to every for your excellent suggestions
I've been dissatisfied with Microsoft for a long time. this is where depart!
