I had a burned copy of xp pro installed on my machine built by a buddy and after a few problems I got a hologram cd of xp pro sp1a and the key on the sticker was not in the right format. it was xxxxx-xxx-xxx-xxx
After I couldnt get anything to work I entered another key and now it is basically locked up. I need to find a way to get back to the setup options to delete the partition and go back with the cd I know the key works.
Any info would be helpful. I tried to get a utility through my hard drive on floppy to erase all data, but after it loads the info it brings up a white screen an hangs up.
Specs.
AMD 64 3200
MSI K8T NEO mobo
160 Gig Western Digital 7200 hard drive SATA
