first, let me explain my setup. I have my system triple boot with XP, Vista, and 7. Vista and 7 are all activated with BIOS and vol lic key. but my xp has always been vol lic key only. One day when I rebooted into XP some pop-up messages showed up and I keep closing them until I accidentally clicked yes for WGA to install. NOw it's flagging my XP as counterfeit. My question is, what is the procedure to activate XP using BIOS hack and vol lic key, just like I did with vista and win7. Will I be able to do so if I have my BIOS was already modified for win7/vista? I can read and follow procedures, so please point me in the right thread. I tried searching but I can't seen to find abything. thank you
