Question about hp's xp product key.

[-RockMan-]

My new mini desktop has a windows xp pro key, would I need to find a hp disc that has xp on it or can I use my oem xp sp2 disc and get it installed this weekend.
Can't put xp on there at the moment, because I am waiting on a hdd buy from a friend.

You can use any OEM XP Pro disc; could use nLite to make a custom disc with SP3 slipstreamed on there if you want, too, which would save you downloading some updates off of Windows Update.

Thanks for your advice I am getting a new 250gig maxtor maxline 2 for my current pc and plan on moving the 80gig to the hp.
I will be turning the second computer into a new media center for only recording some shows when I am not home.
I will be going back to my old job within 2 weeks and working 40 hours a week, thats why I bought the desktop.

Thanks again for your help carnage.
