Okay, this is very annoying.

I just installed a new motherboard, CPU and cooling system but I had to format my HDD because Windows wasn't booting up properly. Which was fine, I don't mind doing that as I had everything backed up.

The way I do it is I install Windows 2000 Professional, then I upgrade to Windows XP Professional. It worked last time, but now it is telling me that I can't activate it anymore (it is a legit version).

Is there any way I can get them to send me a new code? Because what the activation program sent me to was a place to order a Windows XP Activation Code for $250!!! My copy of Windows XP didn't even cost that much, and I may as well just get Vista if that is the case!!!

What should I do?
