SP3, Vol Lic Key Not Accepted

[Guest jayray]

Updating a laptop build and included SP3 installed through Microsoft Update.

Ran sysprep, then Ghost. System will no longer accept volume license key. Saw

similar mentioned in other threads. Any help?

Have you check with any possible banned key list? Microsoft had a banned key

list for the previous service packs, in attempts of eliminating the "pirated

copies."

This happens if you perform the slipstream on Vista. You must perform the slipstream on

a computer running Windows XP.

I've only been able to locate two keys reported as banned, no actual lists.

My license is good, and will work on installs until I try SP3.

Install was done direct to XP machine, no Vista involved.

Free unlimited installation and compatibility support is available for

Windows XP, but only for Service Pack 3 (SP3), until 14 Apr-09. Chat and

e-mail support is available only in the United States and Canada.

He mentioned that the upgrade was via WU and not a clean install from a

slipstreamed cd.

What Carey means is that "you must make the slipstreamed copy while in

XP. If you do it [make the slipstreamed copy] from within Vista, you

will have the problems you've reported."

 

HE is NOT referring to the actual INSTALLATION of the finished

slipstreamed copy of XP with SP3 [i.e. "the installation of XP using

the resulting slipstreamed copy"].

 

Obviously, one cannot install XP from within Vista.
