You need to get a proper Windows XP CD. There is no such
thing as "blacklisted" product keys.

the problem im having is that my cd key is incompatible with the windows cd
that im installing from (both are genuine)
would it be possible to get some blacklisted cdkeys for the diffrent
versions so i can install the copy of windows and then use the windows key
update tool, to change to my genuine key so i can update and activate...?
unfortunatley the AAAAA-12345 ect dosent work either
thanks in advance

yes..... there are...... what do u think this windows genuine advantage
does...? there would be some keys that microsoft has banned due to piracy or
they were posted on google.... my cd of windows is genuine, so is my key,
but they are from diffrent versions, i believe my issue is that im using a
pre sp2 cd and i have a sp2 key im not exactly sure which version i have so
im asking for ones for all the diffrent version
a blacklist is a blacklist, you may call it some thing diffrent but its
still the same thing, i want keys that will fail the windows genuine
advantage avtivation, that way there is no harm or foul, i wont be able to
update or activate windows or install sp2 but i will be able to install...
after that as i previous stated, i can then use "key update tool" to chage my
cd key over to my genuine cd key so i can update and activate...
this workes i know it does, ive done it before from cdkeys found on google,
but for once it would be nice if i just had a proper list from microsoft

specific manufactures (eg Dell, HP, IBM, Toshiba etc) OEM Home, specific
manufactures (eg Dell, HP, IBM, Toshiba etc) OEM Pro, or Enterprise.
