My Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium Product Key is already in use, But I didn't use it.

Question：Ok so I bought my hp in September of 2008, And when i bought it. It had windows vista home premium aready installed on it. But I wanted Windows XP Professional, So i went and bought that and installed it on my computer. But now in September of 2009 I reinstalled windows vista home premium using my Windows Anytime Upgrade disc and now it says that my product key is already in use. So maybe it's saying its already installed on my computer? or somebody stole my product key? Please help what do i do?

Answer 1：It is in use, by your previous install.

Try this, and take the phone option:
