Hi,
New to this so apologies if I am asking something thats been asked before (I have searched and googled before posting).
Trying to install windoze XP using either paralells or VM ware - not bothered which.
Install goes okay until I get to the part where it checks the windows key.
It says it is invalid.
The windows I am using is an original XP SP1 install. The licence key (or keys as I have tried two) I am using are genuine keys as the discs installed on Dells (since gone to the PC graveyard in the sky).
I am at a loss as to know what to try. I did think it might need SP2 but surely that would kick in at the start of the install and not half way through.
Thanks in advance
