Guest Surfarn Posted August 31, 2007 Posted August 31, 2007 Hi! Windows XP Home Edition SP2. I have a problem with my HP dv5000. After my harddrive crashed I can't activate my new one. I ran a ghost on the old disc to a new, then I started a windows repair installation on my new disc. This was no problem, but when i boot this disc up now, it says that windows needs to be activated before logon. I choose yes I want to activate windows but the activationguide doesn't start instead I come back to the login page. This just goes around and around. I can login in safe mode, but just without network. When I try to run the activation guide in this mode, it says that I can't activate windows XP in safe mode. What can I do? Best Regards Jimmy Svensson
