Product Key, something strange about it

[MarcoTulio]

I have a slipstremed win xp sp 1a cd, if I use this cd to install win xp in a computer with no os it works fine, but if i try to install win xp by using this cd inside any windows(98 , me, or xp) the key a type is not valid, but this is the same key I type when I install windows xp in a computer with no OS. Any idea about it?

Maybe You have a CD with modified product ID ?

Already seen something like this with an "unofficial" corporate which was modified to accept professional cd key (of no windows update)

mmmm....what can i do about it?

MS blacklisted some well known keys. Make sure you use your original key.

you might have a cd that will only upgrade win2k (yes they exisst, ive seen them). Tell me the first 5 numbers of your product id (not key, ID. the number in My Computer properties). You can get the first 5 numbers of the product ID from setupp.ini. I'll tell you what that version can upgrade. Otherwise youre typing in the key wrong.
