You have "the genuine problem" because you basically stole the license, you
cannot use the same product key your dad is using, you have to buy your own
license.

Wow. So many things.

You 'bought' this computer and it came with Windows Vista installed on it so
you downgraded to Windows XP. Did you verify that the hardware drivers
existed for the system to work in XP? Have you updated those
(Windows/Microsoft Update is unlikely to do this for you - so saying you
'downloaded all the updates' means very little if that is what you meant.)

And this part... 'my dad has the same product key' <- Hello? You realize
that the way Windows XP (non-volume) licensing works is one license/product
key mean you can install said copy ONE time. If your dad currently has that
license of Windows XP installed/bootable (and it is a retail copy - not an
OEM that would not allow you to transfer it anyway) - then you cannot
utilize it on another machine. You have to buy your own copy/license.

With XP, you can't have the same product key on two machines (for a single
licence, which I assume you have). It might have been a good idea to keep
Vista, and give only a small portion of Hard disk to Vista and rest to XP.
It's easy to split up the disk in Vista to make it a dual boot, and that way,
if XP dies, you can still boot up to Vista (or vice versa).

With Windows 2000, you can use the same Key on multiple machines (not legal,
but it worked). With XP, you'd have to buy another copy of XP, which is
about $150 at TigerDirect.

I know your original question was regarding "blue screen," but there is not
much use to install all your stuff just to find out after 30 days that XP
won't stop bothering you with messages about illigal copy of windows on your
machine.

Take a pill there slick, your the one that violated the license agreement,
not me. You did in fact "steal" the key, you didn't purchase it, you have no
rights to it, but your using it, what would you call it?

Not necessarily, you may have a recovery partition on the hard drive or a
utility to make your own recovery disks.
What brand is it? Read the documentation that came with the PC to determine
the restore method you need to use.
