I tried to re-install XP Home on someone's PC, but it came up with an invalid product key message
during installation.
I used a XP Home Retail CD (borrowed from someone else) and typed in the product key from the label
on PC that I was re-installing.
He has XP Home OEM but wasn't supplied with an XP Home OEM CD, which is why I borrowed someone elses
CD. I would like to do a clean install, rather than using a recovery partition.
Presumably, the OEM product key was not compatible with the Retail disk.
Can I use any XP Home OEM disk to re-install (eg supplied with someone elses PC)? If, for instance,
I borrow one from someone with a DELL PC, will this still work on a non-DELL PC?
