Question about 'How do I skip the Product Activation in Windows XP?' Sunday, September 21, 2008 at 8:53 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Evan (2 messages posted) Here's my story! I bought a lenovo laptop that was originally setup by a University for a student. as soon as i bought it, the hard drive crashed. i got a new hard-drive and reinstalled xp-pro. the COA is on the bottom of the computer, but it is not working. the disk i used to install xp-pro was a copy given to me from the store that fixed the computer. any ideas???? thanks in advance Responses to this message: re: Question about 'How do I skip the Product Activation in Windows XP?'
