The Error is "The product key used to install MS Windows may not be
valid"


I've pirated WinXP but I wanna install WinXP SP2 through Microsoft
site.

I downloaded "Windows XP Service Pack 2 Network Installation Package
for IT Professionals and Developers" from Microsoft Site.

The site mentione's that even not registered copy of WinXp can get SP2,
I went ahead
with this download. But after I try install it, the error is flashed.

Do I've ne other workaround to protect my PC other than this SP2 get
installed.

Following are securtiy protections on my PC(Home):

1.Norton Antivirus 2005(Updated)

2.Downloaded Microsoft other updated excecpt SP2.

3.SpyBot

4.WinXp Firewall is enabled.

5. LavaSoft Adaware

6.Thinking over to install ZoneAlarm

Few days back my PC had been infected by internet Worm Sasser.(Though
all above measures were already taken before this worm attacked.)


To tackle this I formated my PC and installed Norton Antivirus with all
above measures but yet to install ZoneAlarm.

Thanks for reading suggestin' ne help around in advance.

Any pointer is highly appericited.
 
What advice do you want?

I assume you already know the answer to this (buy a valid license for your
operating system).

Or were you looking for something else?
 
Well I wan advice on wht I should opt for if I can't manage for SP2
pack.

Should I install ZoneAlarm also.

I hope u can suggest some workaround.

Thanks
