I am testing physical to virtual conversions and I have gotten pretty far, but I have one problem that I don't know how to fix: If I convert a physical machine to virtual and start it after all the hardware repair stuff has been done, then it comes to a "you must activate Windows XP" message and I seem unable to get past this. In the process at first it tries to activate via the Internet, but then it fails for some reason and I am getting the possibility to change the registration key. So I enter my MSDN key for XP-Pro, but it won't accept that either, which is strange because I have not yet used up all my activations. So my question is simply put: How should I do in order to enter a valid key that it can activate? The PC is not originally created with an MSDN key, it is a standard version. Do I have to hack something using Bart-PE or the like? Bo Berglund
