    UPDATE : This method worked ... I called up and when asked how many computers I had it installed on I answered "One" ... I was then asked if I had any significant hardware changes and I said "yes" ... I was then asked to clarify how many computers it was installed on and I said "one" ...

    All is well and working

    Also when attempting to install the Windows XP Student Edition SP3 by etho I kept getting an error after the blue screen reboot ... It would reboot and would give me the XP load screen during the installation process where it commonly says "estimated time 39 minutes" and you have to set you time settings , ect ...

    I tried it multiple times and It didn't work I just installed my old copy of professional and did the phone activation and it worked even when the internet activation kept telling me I had to get a new liscense.

    Glad it worked Net.ghost , maybe your Student copy was foobared ? Try burning at a slower speed next time . The Etho copies are usually pretty good .

    I've learned that it takes years to build up trust,
    and it only takes suspicion, not proof, to destroy it.
