installing xp on another pc

[oxygenthief]

hi there quick question - my dad's got a windows Xp Home installation disk with product key etc and I was wondering if I'd be able to upgrade my other pc's OS to Xp home using the same disk+key, or whether I'd have to buy a new one

thanks

The short answer is you can, but its illegal.

If your moral fibres are telling you to buy another copy then my advice is to buy at ebay

computers.search.ebay.co.uk/windows-xp-home_Software_W0QQcatrefZC12QQfcclZ1QQfclZ4QQfnuZ1QQfromZR10QQfsooZ1QQfsopZ1QQftrtZ1QQftrvZ1QQga10244Z10425QQsacatZ18793

A lot cheaper than buying from a business dealer.

Hope that helps
