Can't reload 2010 on new HD

Thread needs solution

I load 2010 CD and it comes up, starts installation with 2011 and then says my serial # isn't valid.

Rod,

If somehow you have a CD labeled 2010 but contains 2011 then your 2010 serial number obviously won't work.

Is the CD one you made yourself or purchased from a retailer?

Did you register your original purchase online? If you did, you can redownload the 2010 or 2011 installer and obtain the correct serial numbers at the same time.
