hi interface. i am just wondering which country are you from? if the person is indeed a friend why dont u get it back? if he tries to activate his windows xp and it isn't the same pc that is orginally bundle with that is a red flag right there. imagine u hv to go to court and EXPLAIN how he got it and blah blah blah. if you are working that means u miss work, that means no pay. if you are a student, u miss school, hassle man. get it back and give him a floppy disk, with this batch file fdisk! hahhahahah
