Reformatting Problem

kremedios · 2 Jun 2007 at 17:44

Okay so i bought a Sony Vaio BX laptop in oct 06, it came with XP Pro SP2. I have since reformatted with my own disc (XP PRO SP2), however when i input the code on the bottom of my laptop (the Windows XP code), it says invalid, and so i have to use my other code :mad:

. Does anyone know why i cannot use the code on the bottom of the laptop as i want to get IE7.

Thanks

That code is locked to a specific OEM version of WinXP. If you've installed it with your own disc, why not use that license key?

Cause it is not genuine xp. :mad:

Did your Laptop not come with any installation discs!
You can dowload ie7 from the Microsoft website (or am I getting the wrong end of the stick )

Nope it did not

and you have to verify that your XP is genuine
