Hi all,
I want to reformat my HD and re-install Windows XP. When I built my PC (some years ago now) I also bought XP OEM, but have since lost the product key I used Magical Jelly Bean to find the key, but I'm unsure about it because I've read that the key found in the registry may not be the one needed with OEM discs. My XP disc wasn't provided by Dell or HP or any other company and appears to be a Microsoft product (comes with a green booklet); and the OS wasn't pre-installed. So basically I just want to check that if I re-install using this disc I will be able to activate Windows using the product key found by Magical Jelly Bean - I certainly don't want to wipe my HD and then find I can't re-install!
Any help would be very much appreciated.
