Ok I have a home pc running an illegal copy of windows media center, I loaded all my MP3’s and picstures (80gigs) onto a seperate drive (machine has an OS HD and Storage HD). Used windows activation crack, and it was fine for a while, then all of a sudden it says I need to register, and now the machine is locked and I can’t use it without a legit cd key. So short of pulling out the HD and buying an external HD case what can I do? thanks ---

Why won’t I ever give in and buy XP Pro for my 2-3 computers? It’s the one piece of software that can completely lock up my computer, yet I’ll pay for Sony Vegas and Propellerhead Reason, but I won’t cough up ~$200 for WinXP. I’m weird. Anyone else in this boat with me? ---

Ok, this works everytime for me. call windows, say your HD crashed and you need a replacement activation key, they will ask for the old one. come up with something to convince them you lost it or its long since gone. Moved, fire, i dont know. They will fork over a new key and you should be fine. ---

Ship your HD to me, I can pull the photos off, and I’ll ship it back. I’ll burn the rest of your stuff to DVD’s if you buy the DVD’s. I’ll pay for shipping. Result = Dozr and Lafengas get thier photos, Zwarbyt gets his other shit, everyones happy. ---
