Check your mail

If you cannot get your serial number from the vendor of the computer then you will have to contact Microsoft to explain the situation.

To partition your drive use Partition Magic v8, earlier versions will not work with XP.

I belive I know what viewmaster sent you. So check your mail. VERY HELPFUL.

Tk Viewmaster.I try it out and it is working great..

I have a similar type of problem, difference is my pc crashed and now i cant get into my pc. i have gone to microsoft.com and spend some time looking for the info needed but i just cant find it. i need to activate my the code.

please can someone help me i cant get into my pc

The Windows activation code is just for them to make sure that you have installed a legitiment copy of Windows. You must be connected to the internet, or you need to call their 1-800 number and their representative will give you your activation code. If you are online, then it should do it automatically.
