re: Question about 'How do I skip the Product Activation in Windows XP?' Sunday, September 21, 2008 at 5:00 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by geek9pm (1030 messages posted) Steve, I think maybe wrong on this. When you replace a major component, like a hard drive, the OEM XP CD will not let you finish the installation. You have to have the original hardware in place! But maybe that is not true of that brand. Geek9pm Written in response to: re: Question about 'How do I skip the Product Activation in Windows XP?'
