XP SP2 fails to install at Checking Product Key stage
I have a OEM version of WIN XP SP1a installed on a HP
NX9110 laptop. I have used a microsoft distributed CD with XP SP2 to install the SP, at the point that it checks the product key the install aborts. The copy of XP is legal, the certificate is attached as a label to to laptop. How do I get XP SP2 to install? Thanks Terry |

XP SP2 fails to install at Checking Product Key stage
At the point that it checks the product key, SP2 fails to
install. The message reads something like "The Installation Failed", no mention of compatibility. I have checked the machine for spyware, virus and checked the hard drive for errors. Should I still try the 870898 knowledge base entry, even though i don't get the compatibility message?
