Uninstalling and reinstalling upgrade

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.newusers (More info?)

I installed windows xp on my home computer so I could use my ipod on it and
everything froze. I couldn't even open things like my folders of control
panels. I finally figured out how to uninstall it and after uninstalling it,
tried to install it on my laptop. The product activation key, however,
wouldn't work. Someone please tell me that I'm not out $100.

Is it a full, retail version or an upgrade version of WinXP? What OS is
currently installed on the laptop? Is it an OEM or retail version?
