So simple run down is...
1. I Have two hard drives in my comp, one with windows installed, one for random things
2. The hard drive with windows installed became corrupt... O NO!!!
3. I Tried to repair that installation via xp home disk (not the most legit copy if you know what I mean)
4. Didn't work so I simply installed windows xp home on the second hard drive
5. I have a LEGIT xp home cd key (the sticker on my comp) but it is not working to activate windows. WHY NOT???
I am guessing it is because I didn't use a legit disk but as I understand it that shouldn't matter as long as you have a valid cd key?
