Re: [XP Pro] Not Gennuine Win XP
You can report them for selling you an illegal copy, that is if you paid any money towards the operating system.
Now that is basically XP Pro Retail without activation, however I'm not sure a repair install will work in this case, so you can buy a copy of XP Pro DSP or Retail, then attempt a repair install, however you still will loose much time restoring your system to what it was.
You shouldn't loose any personal files unless they were encrypted, but you should backup any important information first. Along with some programs, and updates might have to be reinstalled if everything goes well.
Is there a number they give you to call? Basically you can't buy a license for the version you have unless you buy them in bundles of ten or more, so you might want to talk to them first to make sure this should work out, however if you look around you can find some deals online(if your unsure check with us first) so you can buy a legit copy. Just avoid the too good to be true prices as you might find yourself in the same situation you are already in with people illegally selling the software with pirated keys.
This is one of my local computer shops for some price references, hopefully you have someplace in your area which allows you to pick it up, and talk to somebody in person.
