   I got new bare bones,   
   MOBO = BIOSTAR P4M800 PRO-M7   
   CPU = Intel Pentium D 830 3.0GHz / 2mb Cache / 800 FSB / OEM / Socket 775 /   
   Dual-Core   
   MEMORY = Transcend 1024MB PC4200 DDR2 533MHz   
   used old HD.   
   The old HP531w computer was a Walmart special   
   with WINDOWS XP HOME: (Build 2600.xpsp_sp2_gdr.050301-1519: Service Pack 2)   
   pre installed on HD no product number or CD.   
   On boot of new barbones asks for reactivation.   
   Can not get on Internet, won't go   
   beyond  asking for reactivation.   
   Tried phone reactivation, not accepted.   
   WIN XP will start in safe mode.   
   Hope someone can help me on this.   
   THANKS !!!
