So I'm fixing my friends family computer and it's really bad. Spyware up the ying yang and viruses all around. It is to the point to where it is un-repairable. So I decide I'm going to reformat and re-install windows xp. Theres only one problem though, they can't find their XP CD's.
If I bring my XP cd from home can I install it on their system? I know it will work but I'm assuming I am going to be missing a lot of drivers and such.
I have a custom built PC while they have a Compaq Presario 6000.
Also will I have to patch the activation?
I know a lot about computers. I'm just not familiar with using my xp CD on another system. Help would be appreciated ASAP as they are without a computer right now.
