six-pack to be

Greetings-
I have a genuen copy of xp, but recently I was trying to do double
boot between xp and linux and had to reinstall the OS several times.
I just went to activate the last install, and MS says I have exeeded
the number of times I can install the OS. How can I explain that this
is the same machine please? Should I call them?

Calling them is your only chance of getting your system activated so you can
use it.

i applaud you for using linux Windows costamer support is not as
great as it could be

if you cant make the wildows people help you you can still run your
windows stuff through WINE an opensource windows emulator tipe program

Which is why you shouldn't activate it right away. Bugs sometimes happen
so I usually wait 25 of the 30 days before activating just to be on the
safe side.
