I've been asking around about this and can't seem to locate a reference that
gives a straight answer. The references that I've found in the XPHome EULA
are a bit confusing.

"Can you legally reinstall Windows on your system by using your product key
and a friend's installation CD/DVD?"

I'd appreciate any links that may clarify this also.

Thanks, in advance! :0)

no links just my understanding...
If you use the same copy of XP as the PK you own it for.....eg if the PK is
for Retail Version Full XP Home you will need to use this version.
When you bought XP you paid for the Program and the Key to use
it.........you lost the Hardware but you still own the right to use it.

yes unless it OEM. in which case you may be able to re-install on the same
PC even with certain replacement parts,
