Hey dudes, Well today i tried to install XP on my system but the wierdest thing happened it didnt ask me for a CD Key or anything it just went straight through the installation and it works with Windows Update and I was wandering if it is illegal or am i safe ;D
-
There may be a few possibilities for this:
1. This was a re-install on top of your previous version and the S/N was picked up from the old registry.
2. Was this XP Home or XP Pro.
3. Was this a legitimate copy of XP.
4. Withing the next 30 days you will be asked to insert the S/N and register the product.
-
1. Couldn't have been I formatted my HD.
2. XP Pro
3. What do you take me for ;) i'm not sure i'll go check
4. It was 3 months ago and nothing what so ever

Well today i tried to install XP on my system
Did you format the drive as part of the installation process ?
Either way, if it's working okay, I wouldn't worry about it.
-
Formatted, no I had to replace the old one as it didn't meet my requirments as at the tme i built the PC i thought 80gb would be fine.

where did you download it from? :-X

J.Man,
I hate to be picky BUT,
On 16th July you posted that:

Then in reply to Old Fogey’s post:

You replied:

Dave,
My intention was to say the same, but you got there first.
J.Man
I'm sorry but your question/s now for me hold no validity, you may also recall a question with regards to your broadband speeds and ISPs! which contracted itself.
Sorry my bad :( Didn't see that one.
Of which was also your reply on that occasion also.

1. I bought a new HD
2. I installed it onto my PC
3. When I tried to install the OS it didnt ask me for a CD Key
4. I came here to find if it was legal
