I bought a new HP M7300e series pc back in 2006. And after I had it for a few days I made the recovery set, (3 Dvdr's). Ever sence I have had nothing but trouble with this set of disk. Here's what I mean, it installs fine, (but it's bloated) The problem is shortly after doing a clean wipe, and installing the recovery partition, and O.S, then I put Antivir, or any other AV my firewall will go to turnning off/on buy itself. This set has a ton of things in it that I have no need for. I need just the basic operating system. I think before I made the recovery disk set something must have got on to my harddrive, and after useing the recoery set it apears every time. I have reloaded my pc countless times, and the same thing happens after every install. A lot of times, I'd just install a freeware firewall and not worry about it, but I'm getting tired of all this. I cant afford to go buy a new O.S. The following CD-KEYs are original and official from Microsoft, chiefly employed for Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2/3 VOL/VLK system pictures that are the simplest ones to discover online.

I bought it at Best Buy 2 years ago. It is running Windows XP v2002 Media Center Edition (SP2). I would like to reinstall the operating system. I have seen questions from fellow Microsoft employees regarding how to install Windows XP Media Center edition on a brand new computer using the OS installation CDs.

After a fresh install, the system does not auto activate and when one tries to enter the correct OEM Product Key (extracted from BIOS), it is refused. The trick is to first remove the current Product Key with slmgr /upk, then the OEM key can be entered and activation works flawlessly.This idea comes from Clean install Windows 8.1 or Windows 8 from OEM key, which also describes. Can I aquire a Legal Copy of an OEM Disk, and use my Legit OEM key that came on my new tower? One that don't have all the added programs that was bundled with my pc when I got it?

Been digging around on the net to identifi what I have. I'm about stumped. I have a HP M7300e Bought new from HP. Fraps 3 5 9 setup keygen rar files.

So I'm guessing it's a Branded Key? And I didn't get any disks at all. Only the option to make a set of recovery disks. I'm just trying to figure out what options I have? What kind of disk Mister Gates will let me use, so I can put my key in and get it worlking with out going back thru the recovery set. I am pretty sure that it came with SP2 because sp2 was released in 2004 and your computer said Media Center 05. It would not be SP3 because it was released in 08 so it is most likely SP2. I addition you said it was a HP so you almost for sure have an OEM version. The sticker on the tower does say media center edition 2005, so it's spcific to SP2? Or rather 2005 came with SP2 in it? Just cant figure out why the sticker does not say OEM. Examples of stickers I looked at online say OEM on the sticker on the tower I belive. Also I saw this: And it seems to indicate the Branded PC's like HP, even thou the sticker does not say OEM, it really is. I am sure you copy of xp is SP2 look here version 04 was had sp2 I'm sure version 05 has it as well. Looking here i can see that an OEM version is sold most major computer companies like HP what you have and it could not be retail because you would not get a sticker to place on your computer it is stuck to the pouch of the CD. For branded it is also just for computer companies like dell. All the the other possibilities are highly doubt full that you have. I can say that I am sure you have an OEM version with SP2.

I help manage a computer shop and we are having issues doing reinstalls on Windows XP OEM PC's using the license cd key on the stickers. 'Invalid CD Key' seems to be very popular with all the media we have used. When I use the public MS key to load the OEM software we get it installed ok, but when we go to change the key to make it 'legal' we get again 'Invalid CD Key'. This does nto seem very thought out by MS and we need XP media that works for OEM CD Keys please. We do push to sell Windows 7 and Vista, but as it is most just want their Laptops/Desktops back to the way they were after a virus infection or failed hard drive. Without recovery media and no working OEM media that makes it hard to service them. Hello Bob K Brown, The product key on any OEM CoA where the second line on the Certificate of Authenticity is 'OEM Software' or 'OEM Product' will absolutely, positively work with genuine Microsoft systembuilder/OEM installation discs, assuming of course you are matching the edition of the product on the CoA to the edition of the installation disc you are using (Home CoA PK matches only to Home OEM installation disc, Pro to Pro, MCE to MCE, etc). The above applies regardless of SP level, with one exception---if you have an XP Pro SP3 CoA, you need to use XP Pro SP3 installation media, as one of the changes with XP Pro SP3 was a modification of the product key algorithm to allow more XP Pro product keys. If the above does not seem to be working, there are only three explanations: (1) the installation media is nongenuine (most likely a Volume Licensing disc counterfeited to look like an OEM disc); (2) the product key is nongenuine, and you would only find out about the product key when you tried to activate because that's the first time it gets vetted by a Microsoft server. Before then any fake PK would just have to fit the algorithm, and any KeyGen can crank out one of those; (3) you are not entering the PK correctly (the letter B and the numeral 8 are very often mistaken for each other). Thw systembuilder/OEM installation discs will also accept product keys from royalty OEM CoAs (Dell, HP, Sony, etc etc) for setup, but will as a rule later PKs (about mid-2005 and later) will not activate automatically online. You usually but not always have to do a phone activation for royalty OEM PKs. The product key update tool was developed for one reason, to allow customers to change out a nongenuine XP Pro Volume Licensing Key for the genuine XP Pro key printed on their genuine CoA. The utility was later developed to work with XP Home, but the utility was never further developed to work with MCE, and it cannot change the edition of the installed XP, say from a bad XP Pro to a good XP Home.
