the parochial school in my town is looking into buying 30 dell gx260 desktop computers from HCDI in tyler TX. their ad says the units come with xp pro installed and with a coa on the box. i am assuming that the os is operational as the computers come out of the box. that being said, is it possible, if the situation arises, to re-install xp pro onto a new drive if one dies? can the os be installed with one cd of xp pro and the product key from the coa on the box, that is, purchase one copy of xp pro and use it as a restore disk? this school is not rich and they can't afford to buy new units. any help or advise would be appreciated. Peace and God bless.
