A friend bought a used computer with an apparent bad copy of XP on it. 

She purchased a full version of XP and we have tried to change the
activation code by following a Microsoft KB article explaining the procedure
as well as trying several utilities I found on the web for changing the
activation code.

None of these methods work. The new code will not "take".

Any idea how to get this to work WITHOUT formatting?

Can a "repair" install work from the new XP CD?

Thanks.
