Hi,

I’m trying to keep this all fair, right and legal.

I bought a retail copy of xp pro many many years ago and its been installed on my one pc for some time. I recently bought another PC which came with a valid dell OEM key which I wanted to give to my kid bro in law for school. The retail CD won’t take the OEM key.

Dell wants 50 dollars plus shipping for a new reinstall disc. I paid 50 dollars for this computer… I’m not looking to double my investment!

Torrents for dell OEM cd’s have been useless (and I don’t need a virus)
