Thanks for advice to all who helped with idea
to use Linux LiveCD to rescue data from wifie's
Acer prior to install of a legal copy of WXP
Pro (computer purchased in now-flooded Bangkok
where they come only with pirate Windows).

Problem: installed WXP from CD purchased from
stall at MIT Swap Meet; it rejects product ID
(on apparently genuine MS holographic label)
as "invalid."

Ideas why this might happen and whether there is
a path with MS how to pursue to successful 
install?    Or some other path to resolve on
my own?
