You start your PC and it stays in bios mode I assume.

RE: just a question
I've had it like that...activate it by phone it's free..but you'll make a 6 mins call...like it enters the login screen(in Win XP) and when you click it says windows needs to be activated, do you want to activate now?

[Yes]  [No]

If you make yes it will give you some options (by phone, by net and another one).If you press No it will go back to Login Screen...

RE: just a question
Even if you're able to use XP because you patched it or whatever, you never will be able to update it. This means your XP will be VERY VERY unsecure. For this alone I wouldn't even think of using an illegal XP...

actually, thats not true, you can still update it. But microsoft are slowly phasing out updates for illegal windows users.
