Windows Forum / Windows XP / Setup and Deployment / July 2006Need to re-install xp home, oem, still have key, lost cd, help ple
I'm trying to change out the hard disk in my pc and I still have my oem product key, and while I'm in there I want to change out my network card as well, but I cannot find my xp cd. I have another oem disk from another (dell) pc of mine that i'm running. Can I install using that disk and the same key and then re-activate? Would changing out the hard disk and the network interface card and installing the other copy of xp with the same key cause a problem? The older Dell Windows CD's were more-or-less standard Microsoft. Some recent ones are not, however. The other issue is that it needs to be the same service-pack level as your OEM licence key (None, SP1/SP2) otherwise it may not accept the key. There is however a good chance it will work fine. |
