Charro Greg Posted September 23, 2004 Posted September 23, 2004 i had to reformat, my hard drive, reinstall windows xp home but when i try to activate windows xp i get a error message that activation can't be completed at this time. is there a problem with the activation server, any ideas?
N1K Posted September 23, 2004 Posted September 23, 2004 Is your internet connection working properly?
jpatto Posted September 23, 2004 Posted September 23, 2004 Are you using the same machine as you originally used when you first installed XP?Have you tried to activate your product via the phone and tell them you reformatted your drive?
Charro Greg Posted September 23, 2004 Author Posted September 23, 2004 it seems to be working properly, it can dial into the activation server but it can't activae my copy of windows xp home which is a legal copy. what is causing this? service pack 2 is installed also.Charro Greg
Famer Posted September 23, 2004 Posted September 23, 2004 try callin the 1800number and activate that way then use this tool http://www.snapfiles.com/get/rockxp.html to save your activation file
