You can't install a retail copy of XP on a machine and use the sticker that's on the machine to activate it. You have to find an OEM install disc to use the OEM key that's on the machine.

so since this thread is 9 days old what ended up happening.

p.s. next time post computer help threads in the main forum not the gaming forum.
