wheres the one for xp???
i bought a comp off a mate with xp already installed on it, the computer casing has an official xp sticker on it with the cd key and a few other codes on it, but when i last tried to live update it said i was running an illegal copy of xp, so i want to check that the key installed is the one on my casing

if you have legally brought one then i wudn't worry about the cdkey personally. if ur ever quizzed over it then just show them ur receipt. otherwise cdekey means feck all.
