Just to let people know. XP cd keys corespondent to the install disks. Every type of install disk has a PID(product I.D.) Retail full versions, upgrade, and most OEM manufacturers have their own PID. So If you have a retail install disk and an up grade or OEM cd key it won't recognice the cd key. but if you have a retail cd key you should be able to use any reatil install disk. Since OEM's all have their evry own PID it's a crap shoot. Some OEM install disks don't ask for the cd key they just autoinstall. So sometimes you can install with an OEM disk then change the cd key before registering your machine. Not always and it usualy works better if their the same brand. I have an HP laptop and use it's install disk on an old HP desktop. Just thought I'd put that out there incase any one didn't know. I spent days trying to figgure that **** out.
don't know if it'll work or not you can always try. course you could also download the windows 7 RC1. it's free and should work for about a year. problem is only graphics card drivers would probably be the only drivers available.
Well then. I just gotta find a time to do that then. Aaaaannnd ... I'll probably want to do it at a time when you'll be available for any questions. :P
