The reason your computer won't work isn't because you are using a bootlegged disk, but because you don't have the proper drivers for your devices. The best solution for this problem is to contact Sony and get them to send you the Recovery Disks for your make and model of computer. Also, Sony, in most cases, will restore your harddrive to origional condition if you send it to them. However, make sure you SHRED all of the data on that disk before you send it to Sony, or anywhere else. If none of these options suit you, then just simply download a Linux-based Operating System like Ubuntu or PCLinuxOS (there are hundreds more), and install. It's not Windows, but that isn't a bad thing, and you won't have to worried about having to use pirated software anymore.

The only way would be to reinstall the operating system!

There are a couple of solutions for this problem.
1. Contact Sony via there web site and order a "Restore" disk set from them.
2. Contact Microsoft. They will sell you a Key for this software, usually at a reduced price.

you'll have to call sony and get them to send you the restore disk and do not tell the you just tryed to load a bootleg copy of xp or they will not help you. Once youreformat a drive it is wiped clean of all info , there is no way to restore it other than to reload the OS. Try to have someone download Ubuntu and burn to a cd then load on your computer. Its a free linux based OS.

Why ask this here? Most won't bother to give you the time of day if you are using pirated software.
Listen, I am not here to judge you. I only want to explain that when you choose to use pirated software, you are also choosing to not receive any assistance, not from Microsoft, not from repair shops, and not here. You are have basically walked the plank and are now on your own in the big blue sea. lol
Good luck and have a nice day.
