[quote name='corrosivefrost']Don't OEM license keys only work with the OEM install and similarly retail versions require the retail setup?[/QUOTE]
I'm pretty sure that's why it didn't work. Unfortunately, the OEM disc is all I have. And it's not a Dell or HP OEM disc, it's your standard OEM disc that I believe was bought from Newegg.
I'd contact MS and have them activate it for me, but when I tried to reinstall XP on this machine a few months ago, they had me read every single item off the disc and made me feel like I had a pirated version. I'm not going to go through that again.
