Saving Xp after format

Dwbreeze1982 · 8 Jul 2007 at 01:06

Hey guys, i have jjust installed a new oem copy of media center 2005, i have fully updated it and its running fine at the mo but if i need to format i dont want to buy another copy of windows and i wont be able to use the same key again, how do you save the windows registration details and stuff so i dont have any problems in the future.

Please help

thats probably why my old key didnt work, i did hear on these forums that u could save the data so u would not need to reactivate, i could be wrong tho.

anyone else have any input .

thanks for the input guys, i have found out that windows saves a file in ure windows folders that can be saved so u can re use ure oem version over and over

used win key finder, backs up ure activation codes and works fine after a format
