I want to make sure I can do this before I start....I dont think it is illegal because I thought I read somewhere that you are allowed to use your XP disk for 6 reinstalls or 2 home computers or something like that....please let me know if I am incorrect in that regard.
I have a Dell preloaded with XP but have the disk which states "only use this CD to reinstall the operating system on a Dell computer. This CD is not for reinstallation of programs or drivers".
I want to reformat my old computer and install XP....can this be done.
Is everything I need on this disk from Dell or is it computer specific information?
I have the key (thank you for the little program that showed it to me)....but what about and activation key ???? Is this the same thing or is this something else.
I already have the 6 disk bootable floppys but will try to change to boot CD.
Anybody help???!!!!
Thanks
