XP Activation
You asked for it. In your post that Hank responded to, you worded it as:
I have a drive that I took from my Dishplayer (DishTv PVR) and put in an external firewire enclosure on my PC. It has some DishTv programs recorded on it...
"a burned XP Pro that I've put on all 6 of my machines"
"It is a burned retail copy, not OEM."
"a". Singular. A no-no under any but a multi-machine XP ULA.
If you bought six copies of XP Pro as you seem to be saying in this post - without actually saying it - fine; but, you didn't say so in that post. Hank was blameless in his buttumption that your post was an accurate reflection of your situation.
Actually, you don't seem to be saying that you bought 6 copies of XP for "all 6 of my machines." "... copies are of my Own CD." "CD," there's that singular again. -- OJ III Email to Yahoo address may be burned before reading. Lower and crunch the sig and you'll net me at comcast.
