Tell them you had to do a wipe and they will give you a new code. I have a builder's copy and can use it again and again and again and.....

Where can i buy one of those?

[XcOM]

you can't, there for builders, OEM's there a bit like VLK's you can't buy them unless your a company and you mass install machines.

If you can get a friends copy of XP cd you can do it, or buy an OEM copy from ebay without an COA for like £10, then start the disc, enter recovery console, and type the following:

x:
cd i386
copy NTDLR.dl_ c:\
expand c:\NTDLR.dl_ c:\NTDLR.dll
copy c:\NTDLR.dll c:\windows
copy c:\NTDLR.dll c:\windows\system32
copy c:\NTDLR.dll c:\windows\system32\dllcache
fixmbr
fixboot

(Where X is your cd drive, normally D)
if expand c:\NTDLR.dl_ c:\NTDLR.dll doesnt work try:
extract c:\NTDLR.dl_ c:\NTDLR.dll (Cant rem which one it is)
