Download centre wont accept XP pro as being authentic.

I purchased a pc from E-bay some time ago, unfortunatley i was given an
illegal copy of Windows XP on the System. To correct this i purchased the
Upgrade addition. which allowed me to install SP2, however whenever i go to
the microsoft Website it keeps telling me that i dont have a authentic copy
of XP Pro. after spending £90 on the upgrade i am reluctant to buy another
copy can anyone out there help??
