<0> try i guess
<0> if you have a rewritable
<0> cd
<1> Geofu: it doesn't even let you get to the point where you can re-activate it?
<2> Agape, i'm afraid you might have to backup whatever you want on the 2k disk and reinstall xp
<2> Agape, i think if there's more than 3 device changes it flips like that
<1> Geofu: the owner got it from walmart and they didn't get an xp install disk with it.
<3> redeye, so i should use a cd-rw disk
<2> Agape, do they have the sticker or book with the key on it?
<1> they have the sticker.
<1> I made sure to tell them to keep the piece of the old case with the sticker on it.
<2> Agape, then they have legal rights to it...
<1> they may have legal rights to it, but it seems like a lot of the crap retailers don't supply a disk.
<3> redeye, so whats the best bruning software, that combines cd, dvd
<2> Agape, depending on what the sticker says.. (probably OEM) you'll need that type of disc to reinstall with and then use that key
<2> Agape, i always advise people against buying from those type of sellers
<1> the horse has already left, no point closing the barn door :p
<2> Agape, i recently discovered that the keys are disc type specific (retail) (oem) (etc)
<1> I found that awhile back...
<3> what is the best all in one cd/dvd burning software
<2> Agape, you may be able to contact HP for a replacement disc
<2> Agape, otherwise you could try with an OEM disc or something.. not sure if HP is specific or not
<1> and this doesn't say oem on it, the key says hewlett packard on it. meaning that it might require an HP disk. and HP may or may not be willing given that I'm basically transplanting their samsung HD into a mongrel box :p
<2> Agape, i somehow doubt microsoft gave specific keys to manufacturers... but, you never know
<1> you never do.. I don't even really understand how M$ justifies this activation crap.
<2> Agape, you might be able to contact microsoft and ask them what disc would work with the key
<2> Agape, i'm sure they have some kind of program that algorithmically determines that
<1> heh
<1> I mean, if you can't freely upgrade your computer without it going nuts, why do they really think people are gonna put up with that?
<2> Agape, then again, it may be common knowledge if you search around about prefixes and such... don't know.. i've never tried to do anything like that with them
<2> Agape, computers like that are considered 'throw away'
<2> they have you by the balls
<1> mmm, I dunno. I'll look into it. in the meantime I think I might just take the easy way out and install a win2k pro on there.
<1> no more activation bull****.
<2> xp corporate doesn't have activation either ;p
<2> Agape, one thing's for sure... if you do use the key on the sticker, given the hardware changes, you'll have to call and talk to someone at microsoft to activate it again
<4> uhm anyone here deal with MCR Encoding? 3 Track style?
<2> Agape, i think i have something here...
<5> hi
<5> just wondering but can someone recommend a good 3.5" external hard drive enclosure?
<2> "These OEM licenses are single-use licenses that cannot be transferred to another computer. Windows XP can only be installed on a single computer. A new license is required if you install and activate the product on a different computer." - http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;302878#4
<5> im looking for something that is fairly durable and secures the hard drive well
<2> so, if it is indeed OEM... (it probably is) it won't work anyway
<4> "Windows XP can only be installed on a single computer."
<4> never believe that bs
<4> its not like they can watch you
<2> if you want it to be activated, yes
<6> Well, what about through Windows Authetification and Activication?
<4> thats why i use VLK :)
<6> when you first install it
<6> VLL?
<6> VLK?
<4> i got a friend who has 100 keys legally
<4> his company closed up
<4> and the keysare not usd hehe
<4> used
<4> its not like u can get a refund from ms
<4> so someone has to use em heh
<2> send Agape one :p
<7> this chan isnt about warez
<7> there are 276423 others that are
<4> uhm how is this warez
<4> its paid for keys by a real person :/
<7> < SegWorkn> "Windows XP can only be installed on a single computer."
<7> < SegWorkn> never believe that bs
<7> < SegWorkn> its not like they can watch you
<4> hfine ill hush, forgot im in iraq heh :/
<4> but yes i agree
<4> ill obey rules
<2> i'm very supportive of microsoft.. but, i'm mad about the activation as much as anybody else is... everytime i reinstall now, i have to call them and i have no hardware changes
<2> i've evidently reinstalled x number of times and that x number of times flags
<4> thats why you get the corp ediiton from work, my boss gave me corp edition since its used at work
<4> but im done discussing it
<2> don't understand why they just don't automatically activate everybody, because they've said they're removing it
<4> they are?
<2> yeah
<2> they're not even supposed to ask you anything when you call now
<2> the person i spoke with did last time though... they didn't the time before
<2> i was talking a guy through the activation yesterday i believe... they didn't ask him anything either
<4> yay
<2> i just told them 'i reinstalled'
<2> he was like 'ok..'
<2> i was thinking.. 'DURRRRHHHHHH!!!!!!'
<2> you know they're sitting there with the entered key.. their telling them all about any changes that occured in hardware.. it's saying 'none' and they still ask you..
<8> the 1333mhz bus would be the largest intel bus ever or is it already out
<8> ?
<8> hello is there anybody viewin the computer station at there current location
<1> no
<2> :p
<8> o i see i let out the funzis
<9> ?
<8> huh ive asked a computer question
<8> am i in the right channel is this place where you come to ask questions about hardware
<9> yeah..
<9> hence the name
<9> #hardware
<8> o
<9> clever aint it
<8> i didnt know
<8> pretty clever
<8> like the people in here
<8> anyways ? the anwser
<9> the answer to what
<8> i see
<8> your resoultion is 320 x 200
<8> understandable
<8> <8> the 1333mhz bus would be the largest intel bus ever or is it already out
<9> I believe 1066 is the largest atm
<8> i see ok cool as i suspected
<10> what is a good all-in-wonder ATI video card? pci-e possibly
<8> i also have another question the PPU phsyx add in card wouldnt it be useless against say a 8 quad core CONROE
<8> or is that just it it will be a new addition to the hardware pile up of purchasing
<8> x1800xt ?
<8> the highest model one would be good
<11> x2100xtpeze
<8> noobs
<11> hahah
<12> hi guys any linux user ?
<1> no
<12> ifconfig ra0
<12> HWaddr 00-89-E7-E6-67-E0-00-A7-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00. What is my MAC address
<4> prob 00-89-E7-E6-67-E0-00-A7
<1> the zeroes
<4> or 89-E7-E6-67-E0-00-A7
<4> o
<1> the first in seriousness
<12> thanks mate
<4> :)
<12> but i am sure it has to be in 6 digit format
<12> 00-89-E7-E6-67-E0
<12> as when i inquiry mac of my router its in 6 digit format
<13> does refresh rate matter that much on LCD monitors?

<4> ;)
<14> hi, can I connect a 25 pin serial cable to the printer port?
<13> umm
<13> JohanPetr
<13> justblue
<13> does the 25pin serial fit into the printer port?
<14> yes
<13> i thought printers were parallel o.O
<14> yes, but there is no way of making it work?
<13> nope
<13> parallel or usb
<13> wait, old ones
<13> how old is your printer
<15> does linksys make a unit that is a firewall / wireless router in one ?
<15> i am looking on their webstie and cant find one - just dont belive it... so simple
<11> i thought all routers where "firewalls"
<11> otherwise its a hub no?
