Hello,

I've got a HP Pavilion notebook and I need to upgrade from XP Home to XP Professional.

I bought a XP Professional CD + Key and tried to install it but there were alot of alerts about unknown devices during setup, after setup was done the notebook crashed with a BSOD.

Somewhere I read that with nLite I could integrate these missing drivers onto the CD so I burned a new CD with only the driver folder added via the wizzard. The alerts during setup where gone. Setup looked totally different then the first try with the original CD btw.

All went well I thought but when XP booted for the first time I got an alert saying I needed to activate XP before I could login. I tried doing so, but it cant seem to activate.

Am I doing something wrong here or missing an option?

UPDATE: I just retried it once more. It promted me for activation again, I activated. It said the activation was succesfull but when I wanted to login it immediatly promted for activation again
