XP Home Activation

Hey all,

Hope you can help me with this one:

I've had to do a full reinstallation of Windows XP Home
as a virus infected my pc and I couldn't get into safe mode
to copy the wpa file. Now my pc is saying that I have to
activate again. Plus I can't telephone customer service up
as my phone has been disconnected. Is there anyway that I
can email someone at Microsoft for help on this ????

Any help would be grateful.

Cheers

Ross
PS Please post in the newsgroup as this is a friends pc
Cheers.

Product Activation can only be accomplished
via the internet or via the telephone.
