Good afternoon,

I have a Toshiba M200 which initially had the XP Tablet Edition 2005
installed and has the OEM sticker on the bottom. I bought the computer second
hand and didn't have the recovery disks and I checked with the manufacturer
and they didn't respond to me. I needed to do a clean install to get it ready
for work so I used a copy of Windows XP Professionnal and I couldn't use the
key from the computer as it wasn't allowed and now I only have an Authorized
Version of XP Pro. I have an image from a second CD that has the tablet
folder on it. Is there any way to convert the XP professional to Tablet
Edition, or can I get a CD from microsoft with a valid computer key to get it
to work.

I am going on my 3rd day of trying to get it to work and would like a fix.

Thanks,
Daniel

No, you need to contact the support section for Toshiba and ask to purchase
a new set of discs from them. Call the toll-free number, and you can ask to
speak with a supervisor. I don't understand the "don't respond" portion of
what you're saying because you get a live person when you call.

You need the proper OEM media to restore the Toshiba M200. You have no
other source because it is not available retail.

Hey Daniel,

If you can get a hold of one of the Vista Premium upgrades (includes tablet
features such as ultimate, business), that might be an option. CAVEAT: your
older software may not be compatible with it. Just throwing some ideas at
you, Chris H. what do you think?

Check eBay and newegg.com for OEM packages of Windows XP Tablet Edition
2005. You'll only be able to put it on that one machine, but it's a
possible solution to your problem.
