Hi, I just re-installed windows XP on my computer after formatting the
hardrive and was wondering how I go about re-activating the o/s again.

Thanks

Connect to the internet.

Then, go to Start > Run, and type:
oobe/msoobe /a
Click OK.
 
Sam, Give it a week or so before you actually activate. This will give you
time to access that everything is working ok before activation.

Why can't you post properly or write properly?

Seems to be a rampant problem with those "MVP"s.
Top posting tossers the lot of them.

Don't give up your day job in the sanitary department.

Do yourself a Google search for Reset 5.01 and never bother to
activate or reactivate.

Yes you'll burn in hell but what the hell!

Possibly but probably not. If you're legal, another words you have a legal
copy of XP, there's no point in doing it and doing so will leave you open to
the possibility that at some point you won't be able to activate or get
updates. Activation is simple and easy, an automatic part of installation.
It's nothing more than a handshake between two computers over the Internet.
Ordinarily, it will take you less time to activate than it did type in the
CD code. You can activate XP as often as you want on the same computer.

If you change enough hardware, instead of Internet activation, you may be
asked to make a phone call. In that case, simply inform the operator of
changes you've made and you will be given a new code over the phone.
