I had the same. I took it back to him and he put genuine windows in.
You can still use the fake copy, it just means you cant install some programs and you keep getting that annoying balloon telling you your copy of windows is not genuine.
Your only other option would be to buy a genuine copy.

in the event that they inform you it is not authentic, then it is not... yet do not enable that worry you... it capacity you could purely get the severe risk-free practices updates and not the different perks - like media participant 11 or IE7... so which you at the instant are not lacking lots... in case you want to be official, nevertheless I see no rationalization for it myself, you could go and purchase a sparkling approved Win XP from a save. And make a sparkling placing up so as that not something of that outdated, rotten, unlawful replica of XP keeps to be.... ;)
