I have a question for your guys.
My roommate had some friends over one nite and when the left so did my legit Windows XP Pro Retail cd, and like 7 computer games
My pc is running like ass so I figured well ok, i still have my CDKEY, I'll just get one of my friends to make me a copy of his CD.
Well one of my friends burned WinXP for me, the Volume Label is WXPOEM_EN, I had retail so i didnt think it would work but i figured it was worth a try. Wouldnt take my legit CDKEY. Just kept saying the CDKEY wasnt valid... Just for the hell of it I tried to make a keygen'ed key to see if it would work with that. Same error so I'm pretty sure its cuz its a retail key.
So anyway I asked some other friends and one of them was like ya I have Winxp Pro but I dont know if its OEM or Retail. So I had him check his CD volume Label for me..
WXPFPP_EN.. I think that was the volume label on my cd too but I cant remember.
Just for s***s and giggles I had him check his computers PID. His product ID PID says OEM...
I checked around efnet in some of the irc channels that offer Windows XP help and everyone said WXPFPP_EN is retail store but everyone found it odd his PID was OEM.
Help.. Is this CD infact retail or what? I dont wanna format til I know for sure if its going to work with my CDKEY.
Wonder if microsoft will replace the cd easy.. I need to format now though, my pc is all ****** up.
Thanks.
