I have replaced my m/b and cpu in my Systemax due to failure of original
hardware. I didn't replace them with OEM hardware, now I find out that I am
unable to reactivate Windows XP, I contacted tech support for Systemax and
they say I have to purchase a new product ID or buy another copy of XP.
Is there any way of obtaining a new product id code from microsoft without
having to purchase one so that I can reactivate my XP? I have the original
cd that came with the computer and everything is legal on my computer so I'm
not afraid of Microsoft verifying all the software is legal if they need too.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. If following Systemax'
suggestion, how do I go about purchasing a new product ID code without
actually purchasing the whole software?
Please post replies here or email me at jimstiles (at) nwcinternet.com
Thanks for any help.
