Hi! When I try to update the Service Pack it's telling me that my key (Serial No) is a pirated one or smth like that ...
1- Is there a way to avoid that ?
2- Can someone tell me where is stored the key (Serial) for windows ??

Thanx

If you are using pirated copy of XP you will need to purchase a non-pirated copy.

I didn't know I was using a pirated one ... and if I get a non pirated one, what do I have to do (Don't tell me I have to reinstall Windows?)

Can you please tell me where's the key stored in windows ??

Thanks

I installed using the hacked Service Pack 1 which means I first had to change my product id using a tool which I downloaded from the internet ( I dont remember its name ). Thus, SP1 worked good for me on my pirated one. SP2 is still in beta stage so i havent tried that yet. But there are solutions to install it on a pirated copy of XP.
And yes, You have to reinstall XP
Take Care :)
