Did you buy it used? because if you did then someone else sold that CD and burned a CD image to their HD. Meaning they can play Halo without the CD and you cant because they have the same CD Key.

Strange. I would try contacting microsoft (there should be a support number on the box somewhere), since in situations like this, they will most likely send you a new product/CD Key.

Be sure you have your current key, proof of purchase, etc, ready.

Yeah, you "bought" it.

Either you're a cheap bastard and you pirated it, or you bought it used after someone burned it to their HDD.

Ah Ah Ah. Let's not start the whole member-bashing. He may be honest. Besides, the advice we're giving him won't work unless his story is true.

Have you ever "loaned" a CD-key to a friend?

That's a definite No-No.
