    Hi all ,

    Before contiuing I'd just like to state I'm not trying to do anything illegal or ask anyone to do it .

    I got a Toshiba tablet M205 , with a formated HD and no recovery disc . Along with an external USB ( non bootable ) and a COA sticker on the back of the tablet .

    Well I managed after some hard work to install a XP home from dos to get USB support and now I'm trying to install XP tablet over it using the CD and XP tablet discs I downloaded but the product key doesn't seem to work on them .

    Anyone else had this problem ? Any simple solution ?

    Gilo


    P.S. I had to download the discs because Toshiba won't supply discs for the M205 and they won't work anyway without a bootable drive & Microsoft sends me to Toshiba ...

    Just to be clear the product key I'm trying to use is the one from the COA sticker on the tablet .
