hi.  
I kinda messed up my second pc, (quite badly), but i had my windows xp pro disk i used for this pc still, so i decided to format my whole pc and reinstall windows! So i formatted it, (completely), but when i tried to install windows it told me the serial key was wrong! I looked through it like 20 times to check it was right, and it was. So i found online a few windows xp pro keyGens, but none of the keys I tried worked!!!

Please help, coz until then im stuck with this old pc which is slower than a snail…
