I have activated my copy of Windows XP Professional and
have been up and running for a couple of weeks. A problem
came up and I need to wipe the hard drive and re-install
the OS. How do I reactivate Windows?
 
The activation procedure is the same. However, if it should fail,
then select the option to "activate by telephone".
