i bought a 2nd laptop fr lelong.com.my

the windows xp pro in it is not original, but at the back of the notebook it have coa stickers of original xp pro..

how can re install back the original xp pro?

please help need guide here, i dont get any ori cd's from the seller

If u want the original Windows XP, no choice, u need to ask for the CD from the seller, or at least get the CD-Key.

call back the seller ask him to give you a copy of the restore cd/dvd.(the coa sticker have the brand name?)if he say he din do a backup,or lost it,theres few way to get it(my own opinion).post on forum to look for the others user that did a backup of the cd,or call acer to request for the cd(wil get charge,but not sure how much)

did you check on your trade whether the seller agree to bundle the Original OS with the lappy? If not then sorry to say you won't be getting any. The sticker that stick at your laptop, does it have a cdkey?

If the cd-key label is legitimate then you can just borrow someone OEM XP installation CD to format and reinstall it back to your system.

Remember to key in the right cd-key (as in the label) when prompt during the installation process.

with the original stickers at the back of the lappy I cant reinstall back my ori windows xp pro?

yup.

the most important thing is not about the cd, is about the cd-key. if it had been activated, make sure you complain to microsoft

anyone can pls borrow me the cd's or email it to me or whatever ways I can get it? can i install through this way then using my back original stickers code for installations?

bro, you can use even pirated cd and illegal cdkey, after you install, make sure you download a cdkey changer from Microsoft and change the illegal cdkey back into your original one. After that you can try to activate it or try to do geniune test to find out whether your proclaim original cdkey is original or not. Tested and 100% working by this method

thanks dude, try out your method now..

Maybe The CD-Key Was Ativated.

Try To Get An Original WinXP Pro CD And Make A Clean OS

Then Activate With The CD-Key From The Sticker.

Maybe You Laptop Is Pre-Install Version? Without OS CD?

Ok i try to get an original xp pro format and installed again using my attached coa stickers at my lappy, what if dosent works again? any other solutions? or should i send to shop to do it? tq
