Asus users: Recovery CD - Page 2

Not if I read you correctly.

System makers will get an system installer key that can be used for pre-installation or pre-activated installations, but that WILL NOT BE the key on your certificate of authenticity sticker.

If you were to use a cd-key viewer like magic jelly bean keyfinder, a user will often see his key does not match the one used by the pc maker during installation. That is normal.

But YOUR cd key should work on a proper OEM XP CD.

Your sticker is what? XP Pro, OEM rtm, sp1 or sp2?

The Sticker says, it's a Windows XP professional.. No oem, no addon info!

OK, my mistake (again).

Your COA key will not have serice pack designations, but it will have OEM designation.

If you don't have it, it must be a retail version, which seems odd.

Either way, we're wasting a lot of people's time and forum resources on what has essentially become a one on one tech support issue. I don't mind helping as long as we keep it legal, but let's take it off the boards and go to email or PMs.

Check your PMs
