[QUOTE="Channel Hopper, post: 749847, member: 175144"] Not too serious as all the data was backed up. But one new hard drive later, blagging an XP disk and putting in the 25 character details on the MS certificate brings me to a Windows activation page on screen, which I cannot connect to as the modem software hasn't been installed (and I have no router). From memory there used to be a 30 day grace before activation was needed, do I need to make a phone call or is there a way of installing the modem software and activate online ? [/QUOTE]
