Rebooting Windows XP with disk?

2009-02-01 2:32 am
My dad's friend gave me a computer that was only 6 months old. I have been using it for a couple of years now. It has windows xp pro, but today I got a virus, I was able to get rid of the virus, but I had to restart my computer. When it finished restarting and I tried to log in, it automatically log out by itself. I thought it was a virus that might still be on my computer, but it is unlikely. I scanned with 3 different anti virus and malware programs and they got rid of it for sure. After some research on the internet, I figure that the virus messed up my Windows. Since I got the computer from someone else, I didn't have the original Windows CD, but the guy made me a copy. So I used the copy and now I have to put in the Certificate of Authenticity which I don't have. Sinse i already set up the Windows, it doesn't log out by itself anymore, so I know that was the problem, but now I have another one. How do I get the Certificate of Authenticity? My dad's friend moved and I can not get the original CD from him. Is there another way to get the Certificate of Authenticity or should I go out and buy a new XP CD. Or should I just get Vista?

If I update the windows, will all my files on computer go away?

更新2:

Is there a sticker on the case with the XP logo on it. The Cert. of Authenticity is on that sticker. Reinstall windows and use that number. You still may need to reactivate with windows, Just tell them the computer crashed and you needed to reinstall. I hope this helped.
