My PC crashed, with it the restore partition as well.
So I put in a new drive, and use a retail winXP to install. At first I enter
the product key code from the sticker on the PC, but it won't accept, so I
have to use the product key code from the retail winXP itself.
I plan to order a restore CD from HP. When it arrives, what do I have to do
to use the product key code from the sticker on the PC, so I won't have to
use up the install on the retail winXP?
Obviously, I don't want to re-install winXP from scratch.
