Where did you buy the copy of XP, and is it a genuine holographic CD from Microsoft? Is the CD key on a genuine certificate of authenticity?

Yup it sure is, bought it at Staples

Time to call Microsoft.

Are you sure you are reading the key correctly? It can be hard to tell the difference between an 8 and a B, for example.
