Activating XP in Microsoft VPC

[Guest raj]

I created a virtual image of a machine using Acronis.

I'm trying to run the image on a different laptop.

 

Both laptops are of same model (Dell latitude D630).

 

When I start the virtual machine, the machine starts and when I try to

login, I get this message:

 

"This copy of windows must be activated with Microsoft before you can log

on. Do you want to activate Windows now?"

 

Only a windows xp screen comes up when I click 'Yes' or 'No'. I could not

activate Windows XP. How do I active Windows XP in this virtual machine?

 

Thanks

Use the telephone option to activate.
