Just built my first PC

[ObsiDianOsiris]

Just built my first PC and it POSTed on my first try, hurray!
I have OEM windows xp pro /w sp2 and it installed without a problem, but I hit enter before I set the clock correctly and when I set it from windows It thaught 30 days pasted and now I can't get into windows because of that 30 day register thing.

I don't know what to do, If I reinstall windows will that fix it?
And how do I go about doing so.

Yeah, reinstall it. If that fails, just format the hard disk and do a fresh install.

Try to reinstall it actually. But if it fails you have no choice but to call to Microsoft support: http://support.microsoft.com/contactus/?ws=support

I would try a reinstall/repair install first but if that fails, the easiest way would be to format the hard drive and fresh install. Congrats on your first box tho. It took me about 3 days to get the first one to post. the darn Motherboard was grounding out.

good luck,
