New Build = New OS???

[Pdawg]

OK so here's basically what I need to know and all other details/comments are of course welcome. I'm about to build a second computer. I already have XP SP2 installed on my current rig but when I build my 2nd rig I want to put the current one in my living room and hook it up to my LCD tv through DVI out.

The important question I have is: Will I need to buy another OS disc/license in order to run 2 computers in my home with both connected to the internet? IF I can then how do I do so since my computer(ancient) came with XP installed. I have the key but I can't find the windows disk. There must be a program or two that can fix all my woes. Thanks in advance.

You can use the same disc.

Yes you can use the same Windows SP2 disc for another computer. You always have to start with a fresh OS for a new build.
