   A friend bought a Compaq Presario from Future Shop. It has a valid XP   
   sticker on the case, but when the Microsoft validation tool sees it, it   
   refuses to accept it as a valid Product number. Is there a work around for   
   this? She never recieved any media from them for the computer.   
      
   1) Buying XP and not having the appropriate drivers for the board.??   
      
   2) Obtaining a set of restore disks??   
      
   3) Buying another computer??
