<8> hey folks.. I'm reloading my girlfriends laptop, she has an xp key on the bottom of it, I've tried about 5 differnt xp discs and they all say the number isn't valid. I'm guessing that it has something to do with it being an oem version or something... any ideas how to get xp installed with her key?
<3> oem
<3> find a OEM copy
<9> use the recovery discs
<3> depending on manufacturer, it might be different OEm versions as well
<8> her ex husband took all that stuff
<9> call the man. and get them
<10> call bill
<8> heh, not an option. If it was I'd go over there and beat two years of child support out of him
<3> http://www.petri.co.il/use_oem_version_to_upgrade_xp.htm
<9> ya we don't care
<3> read that
<9> I meant call the manufacturer not the "man"
<3> just get a xp corp version with no activation flea
<9> or you could buy a new copy of windows
<9> 1800rulegit
<11> you must know someone who has oem xp with their computer
<11> you won't find it for download
<11> except the swedish verion
<8> so I used a tool once, I thought it was called sysprep that would blow out the key and make you enter it after a reboot, I think the idea was for image isntalls, any clues there?
<11> no
<11> it won't affect the type of key needed
<11> you will need to find a copy of xp hom eoem
<8> man, what a pain in the ***
<8> thanks Vern/himeko
<11> hmm, i wonder where my copy i
<11> s
<8> not that I think it makes a diff but it's not home, it's pro
<11> ah, foun dit
<11> really
<11> unusual
<8> why so?
<11> most ppl get home with a computer
<11> it says oem on the sticker right
<8> no, but it does say microsoft/ibm
<11> ah
<11> so does mine
<11> IBM corporation
<11> what model is it
<11> i'm sure you can order a new set of cds for it pretty easily
<8> it's an r40e
<8> last time I tried that, they wanted to charge me for a new copy of windows
<11> the sticker is you linces
<11> not the cds
<8> well, that's what I thought too :) dell wanted 98$
<8> god, ibm's page is a mess
<12> heh
<12> i always call IBM and have them send me the recovery cd's for out T series. NEver an issue and always free
<8> awesome
<11> i have 8 xp pro disks from ibm
<12> i only got 3
<11> plus the recovery disks for my t40
<8> yay, 5pm eastern time
<8> :)
<11> weird
<11> it is 4:15 mountain here
<13> arrg, why does mandrake hate my computer..
<7> i think he means when ibm closes their phone thinger?
<13> i need a new mobo
<7> otherwise he's off by 1 hour ;p
<7> erm under 1 hour
<11> TranS1t what kind
<13> on my finances probably a socket 754 mobo to start
<11> more than on hour
<11> so you have a socket 754 chip?
<13> no, i have a stupid old nforce2 mobo and a xp cpu
<11> i am baffled why you would go 754 then
<13> 1600mhz fsb for one
<8> why mandrake?
<13> i have a 266fsb
<8> why not fedora or at leaast centos?
<11> isn't 754 pre 939
<13> because mandrake has divx mp3 and all other codecs
<13> yes its pre
<13> and cheaper
<11> the one inbetween socket a and 939
<13> yes
<8> heh, it's linux, they all have the same software
<11> dunno where you got 1600 fsb from
<13> 754s have a 1600fsb, 939s have the 2000fsb
<13> ddred of course
<11> i;d say my fsb is 400
<11> not 2000
<13> you have a 939 mobo?
<11> and chip too even
<11> i'd go 939
<11> be a waste of money to got 754
<13> maybe
<11> and i don't see it being much cheaper
<13> ill have to see how much moola i can scrape up
<11> i got a nice board for $114
<13> well a sempron 754 cpu is like 70bucks, and still has the 1600 fsb
<13> but a 939 athlon is like 200 still
<11> $130
<13> up here in canada?
<13> darn, i gotta recheck prices then
<11> and there are cheaper boards than what i bought
<13> its the cpu im worried about
<13> be nice to get one thats faster than its fsb..
<11> check memoryexpress.com
<11> usually pretty good prices
<11> and if you buy from ncix you have to pay pst
<13> well 184 for a 3200, about what i expected
<11> $3000 can be had for $130ish
<11> er 3000+
<11> that is what i bought
<13> thats not bad, id forget about the 754 for that..
<13> be nice to upgrade to sata drives too..
<11> i bought a hitachi 250gb for $65
<13> holy .....
<11> open box at insight.ca
<13> i paid 79 for my last 80gig ide...
<11> actually got 2
<11> one is for a frined
<11> shipping was the same for one or 2
<11> or prolyl even 4
<13> darn thats a nice price
<13> i like a sli mobo too, but iv read that you really need a athlonfx cpu to run those right..
<13> theres a few bucks
<14> pop a amd 4000 x2 into a sli board
<13> how bout the new fx x2 cpus..
<13> just came out
<13> only 1000 bucks us..
<14> i have a old 2800+ 64bit works well
<11> heh, only
<13> my old athlonxp at 2gig still chugs along
<11> better buy em while their cheap
<11> they wil be more later on
<13> heheh
<14> this is the board im looknig at.... http://www.msicomputer.com/msiforms2/K8NDiamondPlus.asp
<13> yeah, i never understand why people spend 1000 when they can wait a few months and spend 350..
<14> they havethe money and you dont
