Windows Forum / Windows XP / Basics / October 2007copying Win XP onto a cd
Though I may already know the answer, I will ask anyways: Is it possible for someone to make an exact copy of their windows xp hope edition that they purchased from a retailer, and give me THAT copy so that when they sell their used pc to me, I can ahve that copy as a back up in case there is a problem?? Will that copied CD boot up and install (if I ever needed to reinstall the OS of the used pc) smoothly or will there be missing files. Used pc for sale has Windows 2000 prof. and she upgrade to Win Xp. She said she could give me a copy of the installed windows but not sure it will work if I ever needed to use it. She did say she could give me the W 2000 CD's though. Maybe a dumb question, but had to ask. thanks  SignatureThanks so very much for your help-! ! ! ! You need both the WinXp update cd and win2k cd in order to retain the licence, or to enable to reinstall It sounds to me that the seller is wishing to retain their origonal winxp upgrade cd and merely give you a copy, thats a breach of the license Who knows what use they are going to make of the upgrade cd > Though I may already know the answer, I will ask anyways: Is it possible > for someone to make an exact copy of their windows xp hope edition that [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > > Maybe a dumb question, but had to ask. thanks And also the license along with it.

Either the seller gets it or you get it, not both.

If you have several cars and just one set of license plates you can't legally just move the plates from car to car unless you have a special license to do so.

Not a good analogy - if you have a retail copy of XP then you can certainly remove it from one machine and install on another.....what you CAN'T do is to have it installed on more than one machine at any one time using the same licence.... >> Yes.

Well then GORDON I guess a person can't have one set of license plates on more than one car at one time either can they? SignatureXandros I believe that was his point.
