Hmm...what i did is similar...but i blew it all up. The women voice over
the phone activation(i like her voice and the free toll number =)) told
me that i have to have a key from the old mobo which i don't have
because i didn't extract it yet, but surely i will. Moreover i have a
key on the newer board too, but i have to extract it too. One of them
will surely work. If not, i'll give a call to mr.Blister Gates.
That's all folks, i'll manage further on my own. Thanks for big Help!!!
