Question...

The Windows XP MCE which was installed, was it a legal Genuine Version??

if Yes then,

very simple... call the Microsoft India Toll Free numbers... they are very help full and they will going to help u to activate with phone... u may also reffer to Product Activation FAQ

if No

Sorry bro... we cant help u (at least here in open forum... ;) )

its legal version
Click to expand...

Cant be... as XP MCE only comes with pre install... there is no OEM pack for it... so there is no way u can get a OEM License... so it must be Pirated... better switch back to ur OEM XP (Home or pro) what ever u had... or may be if u r comfortable then stick with ur Linux.... :) (which is not a bad idea...)
