July 28, 200917 yr Ok here is my problem I am trying to do a reinstall of XP Professional on a Dell Tower. It gets all the way through the install process but once completed it requires me to activate before the first login. I cant activate over the internet due to lack of drivers so I click on activate over the phone and I get no installation id which makes it very hard to activate according to MS if anyone has some insight to this problem it would be much appreciated. I am going to try another disc. I will post what happens.Thanks Everyone
July 28, 200917 yr Is this the Dell OEM disc that came with the box, or another that you made (and if so, from what source, and was nLite used)?
