Re: [XP Home] can't activate windows xp home

Going back to Best Buy would be the easiest route, but they no longer carry this model (G5960). That was the reason they sold it to me for 50% off the normal retail price... It was their last one and they wanted to clear it out, so its not like I can just walk in and swap it for another 5960. I guess I'll have to talk to them, but really a restore cd would make me perfectly happy.

May be that expalins why it does not have the restore CD cos they did not have one for this PC. You are SOL. Shuttle may give you one but I doubt they will. There are varies way to have a fresh install without activation but you have to search elsewhere.

I would ask Best Buy why they sold you a system without any Restore CDs, unless, you, they told you this PC was sold "AS IS" if you bought it "AS IS" and you passed the 7 to 10 day Best Buy Return policy, then, you may be outta
Luck? dosen't hurt to try tho, Good Luck with Best Buy, I hope everything works out?
