I`m afraid you can`t do that.
 
The copy of XP with its product key on your other Dell is tied to that laptop.  You will have to buy another copy of XP for the new laptop

You can buy XP anywhere.  There is nothing special about a Dell-supplied XP disk.

Don't do it. XP is set to explode on Jan 1, 2008. ALl computers using it will go black and never function properly again.

OK eskymi , so you are just joking, (it is good to have a joke) but you should have made that clear in your post.
 
There could well be newbies here who will believe it.

Yeah, I am just kidding.
 
I assumed that people would realize that.  Just having fun!
 
I get so sick of people posting over and over about downgrading to Xp when all they need to do is search as there are several threads about it.  So I decided to mess with them a little.

It will work, but is not correct -by legal reason-
