Greetings --
Ahh... I misunderstood, and thought that you'd already installed
the OEM OS.
Here's the full English text of an OEM WinXP Home installation:
=============================================
Microsoft(r) Windows(r) XP Home Edition
END-USER LICENSE AGREEMENT
IMPORTANT-READ CAREFULLY: This End-User
License Agreement ("EULA") is a legal agreement between you
(either an individual or a single legal entity) and the
manufacturer ("Manufacturer") of the computer system or computer
system component ("HARDWARE") with which you acquired the
Microsoft software product(s) identified above ("SOFTWARE"). The
SOFTWARE includes Microsoft computer software, and may include
associated media, printed materials, "online," or electronic
documentation and Internet based services. Note, however, that
any software, documentation, or web services that are included in
the SOFTWARE, or accessible via the SOFTWARE, and are
accompanied by their own license agreements or terms of use
are governed by such agreements rather than this EULA. The
terms of a printed, paper EULA, which may accompany the
SOFTWARE, supersede the terms of any on-screen EULA. This
EULA is valid and grants the end -user rights ONLY if the
SOFTWARE is genuine and a genuine Certificate of
Authenticity for the SOFTWARE is included. For more
information on identifying whether your software is genuine,
please see http://www.microsoft.com/piracy/howtotell.
By installing, copying, downloading, accessing or otherwise using
the SOFTWARE, you agree to be bound by the terms of this EULA.
If you do not agree to the terms of this EULA, you may not use or
copy the SOFTWARE, and you should promptly contact Manufacturer
for instructions on return of the unused product(s) in accordance
with Manufacturer's return policies.
SOFTWARE PRODUCT LICENSE
The term "COMPUTER" as used herein shall mean the HARDWARE, if
the HARDWARE is a single computer system, or shall mean the
computer system with which the HARDWARE operates, if the
HARDWARE is a computer system component.
1. GRANT OF LICENSE. Manufacturer grants you the following
rights, provided you comply with all of the terms and
conditions of this EULA:
* Installation and Use. Except as otherwise expressly
provided in this EULA, you may install, use, access,
display and run only one (1) copy of the SOFTWARE on
the COMPUTER. The SOFTWARE may not
be used by more than one (1) processor at any one time
on the COMPUTER, unless a higher number is indicated
on the Certificate of Authenticity. You may permit a
maximum of five (5) ("Connection Maximum") computers
or other electronic devices (each a "Device") to connect
to the COMPUTER to utilize the services of the SOFTWARE
solely for File and Print services, Internet Information
services, and remote access (including connection sharing
and telephony services). The five (5) Connection Maximum
includes any indirect connections made through
"multiplexing" or other software or hardware which pools
or aggregates connections. Except as otherwise permitted
below, you may not use the Device to use, access, display
or run the SOFTWARE, the SOFTWARE's
User Interface or other executable software residing
on the COMPUTER.
* Software as a Component of the Computer - Transfer. THIS
LICENSE MAY NOT BE SHARED,
TRANSFERRED TO OR USED CONCURRENTLY
ON DIFFERENT COMPUTERS. The SOFTWARE
is licensed with the HARDWARE as a single integrated
product and may only be used with the HARDWARE. If the
SOFTWARE is not accompanied by new HARDWARE, you may
not use the SOFTWARE. You may permanently transfer all
of your rights under this EULA only as part of a
permanent sale or transfer of the HARDWARE, provided
you retain no copies, if you transfer all of the SOFTWARE
(including all component parts, the media and printed
materials, any upgrades, this EULA and the Certificate
of Authenticity), and the recipient agrees to the terms
of this EULA. If the SOFTWARE is an upgrade, any
transfer must also include all prior versions of the
SOFTWARE.
* Mandatory Activation. THIS SOFTWARE
CONTAINS TECHNOLOGICAL MEASURES THAT

OR ILLEGAL USE OF THE SOFTWARE.
The license rights granted under this EULA are limited
to the first thirty (30) days after you first run the
SOFTWARE unless you supply information required to
activate your licensed copy in the manner described
during the setup sequence (unless Manufacturer has
activated for you). You can activate the SOFTWARE
through the use of the Internet or telephone; toll
charges may apply. You may also need to reactivate the
SOFTWARE if you modify your HARDWARE or alter the
SOFTWARE.
* Security Updates. Content providers are using the digital
rights management technology ("Microsoft DRM") contained
in this SOFTWARE to protect the integrity of their
content ("Secure Content") so that their intellectual
property, including copyright, in such content is not
misappropriated. Owners of such Secure Content ("Secure
Content Owners") may, from time to time, request MS,
Microsoft Corporation or their subsidiaries to provide
security related updates to the Microsoft DRM components
of the SOFTWARE ("Security Updates") that may affect
your ability to copy, display and/or play Secure Content
through Microsoft software or third party applications
that utilize Microsoft DRM.
YOU THEREFORE AGREE THAT, IF YOU
ELECT TO DOWNLOAD A LICENSE FROM
THE INTERNET WHICH ENABLES YOUR USE
OF SECURE CONTENT, MS, MICROSOFT
CORPORATION OR THEIR SUBSIDIARIES
MAY, IN CONJUNCTION WITH SUCH
LICENSE, ALSO DOWNLOAD ONTO YOUR
COMPUTER SUCH SECURITY UPDATES THAT
A SECURE CONTENT OWNER HAS REQUESTED
THAT MS, MICROSOFT CORPORATION OR
THEIR SUBSIDIARIES DISTRIBUTE. MS,
Microsoft Corporation or their subsidiaries will not
retrieve any personally identifiable information, or
any other information, from your COMPUTER by downloading
such Security Updates.

INCLUDED A BACK-UP COPY OF THE
SOFTWARE WITH THE COMPUTER ON
PHYSICAL MEDIA (e.g. CD OR
PARTITIONED HARD DRIVE), YOU MAY
MAKE A SINGLE BACK-UP COPY OF THE
SOFTWARE. You may use the back-up copy solely for your
archival purposes and to reinstall the SOFTWARE on the
COMPUTER. Except as expressly provided in this EULA
or by local law, you may not otherwise make copies of
the SOFTWARE, including the printed materials
accompanying the SOFTWARE. You may not loan, rent,
lease, lend or otherwise transfer the CD or back-up copy
to another user.
* Reservation of Rights. Manufacturer, Microsoft Licensing,
Inc. ("MS") and its suppliers (including Microsoft
Corporation) reserve all rights not expressly granted
to you in this EULA.
2. DESCRIPTION OF OTHER RIGHTS AND
LIMITATIONS.
* NetMeeting/Remote Assistance Features. SOFTWARE may
contain NetMeeting and Remote Assistance technologies
that enable the SOFTWARE or other applications installed
on the COMPUTER to be used remotely between two or more
computers, even if the SOFTWARE or application is
installed on only one COMPUTER. You may use NetMeeting
and Remote Assistance with all Microsoft products;
provided however, use of these technologies with certain
Microsoft products may require an additional license.
For Microsoft and non-Microsoft products, you should
consult the license agreement accompanying the applicable
product or contact the applicable licensor to determine
whether use of NetMeeting or Remote Assistance is
permitted without an additional license.
* Consent to Use of Data. You agree that MS and Microsoft
Corporation and their affiliates may collect and use
technical information gathered in any manner as part
of the product support services provided to you, if any,
related to the SOFTWARE. MS, Microsoft Corporation and
their affiliates may use this information solely to
improve their products or to provide customized services
or technologies to you. MS, Microsoft Corporation and
their affiliates may disclose this information to others,
but not in a form that personally identifies you.
* Internet Gaming/Update Features. If you choose to utilize
the Internet gaming or update features within the
SOFTWARE, it is necessary to use certain COMPUTER system,
hardware, and software information to implement the
features. By using these features, you explicitly
authorize MS, Microsoft Corporation and/or their
designated agent to use this information solely to
improve our products or to provide customized services
or technologies to you. MS or Microsoft Corporation
may disclose this information to others, but not in a
form that personally identifies you.
* Internet-Based Services Components. The SOFTWARE contains
components that enable and facilitate the use of certain
Internet-based services. You acknowledge and agree that
MS, Microsoft Corporation or their subsidiaries may
automatically check the version of the SOFTWARE and/or
its components that you are utilizing and may provide
upgrades or supplements to the SOFTWARE that may be
automatically downloaded to your COMPUTER.
* Language Version Selection. Manufacturer may have elected
to provide you with a one-time selection of two or more
language versions of the SOFTWARE as part of the SOFTWARE
setup process. In such event, you are licensed to use
only one of the language versions provided. Once you
have used a language version, you are not licensed to
use any of the other language versions that Manufacturer
may have included with the COMPUTER.
* Operating System Selection. Manufacturer may have elected
to provide you with a selection of Microsoft operating
system software for the COMPUTER. If the SOFTWARE
PRODUCT includes more than one (1) Microsoft operating
system ("Microsoft OS"), you are licensed to use only
one of the Microsoft OS selections provided. As part
of the setup process for the SOFTWARE you will be given
a one-time option to select one (1) Microsoft OS. Upon
selection, the one Microsoft OS selected by you will
be set up on the COMPUTER, and the other Microsoft OS(s)
not selected by you will be automatically and permanently
deleted from the hard disk of the COMPUTER.
* Additional Software/Services. The terms of this EULA apply
to Microsoft updates, supplements, add-on components,
or Internet-based services components of the SOFTWARE
("Supplemental Components") that Manufacturer, MS,
Microsoft Corporation or their subsidiaries may provide
to you or make available to you after the date you obtain
your initial copy of the SOFTWARE, unless other terms
are provided along with such Supplemental Components.
If other terms are not provided along with such
Supplemental Components and the Supplemental Components
are provided to you by MS, Microsoft Corporation or a
Microsoft subsidiary then you will be licensed by such
entity under the same terms and conditions of this EULA,
except that the MS, Microsoft Corporation or Microsoft
subsidiary entity providing the Supplemental Components
will be the licensor with respect to such components
in lieu of the "Manufacturer" for the purposes of the
EULA, including, without limitation the Limited Warranty
Appendix. THE LIMITED WARRANTY (IF
ANY) INCLUDED WITH OR IN THIS EULA
APPLIES TO SUCH SUPPLEMENTAL
COMPONENTS (IF ANY) PROVIDED THAT
YOU LICENSED THE SUPPLEMENTAL
COMPONENTS WITHIN THE ORIGINAL TERM
OF THE LIMITED WARRANTY. HOWEVER,
PROVISION OF THE SUPPLEMENTAL
COMPONENTS DOES NOT EXTEND THE TIME
PERIOD FOR WHICH THE LIMITED WARRANTY
IS PROVIDED. ALL OTHER DISCLAIMERS,
EXCLUSIONS OF DAMAGES, AND
LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY AND REMEDIES
SET FORTH IN THIS EULA SHALL APPLY
TO SUCH SUPPLEMENTAL COMPONENTS.
Manufacturer, MS, Microsoft Corporation and their
subsidiaries reserves the right to discontinue any
Microsoft Internet-based services provided to you or
made available to you through the use of the SOFTWARE.
This EULA does not grant you any rights to use the Windows
Media Format Software Development Kit ("WMFSDK")
components contained in the SOFTWARE to develop a
software application that uses Windows Media technology.

application, visit
http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/imedia/windowsmedia/sdk/wmsdk.asp,
accept a separate license for the WMFSDK, download the
appropriate WMFSDK, and install it on your system.
* Limitations on Reverse Engineering, Decompilation and
Disassembly. You may not reverse engineer, decompile,
or disassemble the SOFTWARE, except and only to the
extent that such activity is expressly permitted by
applicable law notwithstanding this limitation.
* Separation of Components. The SOFTWARE is licensed as a
single product. Its component parts may not be separated
for use on more than one computer.
* Single EULA. The package for the SOFTWARE may contain
multiple versions of this EULA, such as multiple
translations and/or multiple media versions (e.g., in
the user documentation and in the software). In this
case, you are only licensed to use one (1) copy of the
SOFTWARE.
* Termination. Without prejudice to any other rights,
Manufacturer or MS may cancel this EULA if you do not
abide by the terms and conditions contained herein.
In such event, you must destroy all copies of the
SOFTWARE and all of its component parts.
* Trademarks. This EULA does not grant you any rights in
connection with any trademarks or service marks of
Manufacturer, MS or its suppliers (including Microsoft
Corporation).
3. UPGRADES. If the SOFTWARE is labeled as an upgrade, you must
be properly licensed to use a product identified by MS or
Microsoft Corporation as being eligible for the upgrade in
order to use the SOFTWARE ("Eligible Product"). For the
purpose of upgrade(s) only, "HARDWARE" shall mean the
computer system or computer system component with which you
received the Eligible Product. SOFTWARE labeled as an
upgrade replaces and/or supplements (and may disable, if
upgrading a Microsoft software product) the Eligible
Product which came with the HARDWARE. After upgrading, you
may no longer use the SOFTWARE that formed the basis for
your upgrade eligibility (unless otherwise provided). You
may use the resulting upgraded product only in accordance
with the terms of this EULA and only with the HARDWARE. If
the SOFTWARE is an upgrade of a component of a package of
software programs that you licensed as a single product,
the SOFTWARE may be used and transferred only as part of
that single product package and may not be separated for
use on more than one computer.
4. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS. All title

that is provided only in electronic form, you may print one
copy of such electronic documentation. You may not copy
the printed materials accompanying the SOFTWARE.

suppliers' entire liability under any provision of this agreement

jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of
liability for consequential or incidental damages, the above

warranties, either express or implied, including, but not limited
to implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a
particular purpose, with regard to the SOFTWARE, the accompanying
written materials, and any accompanying hardware. This limited
warranty gives you specific legal rights. You may have others
which vary from state/jurisdiction to state/jurisdiction.
NO LIABILITY FOR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. To
the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall
Manufacturer or its suppliers be liable for any damages
whatsoever (including without limitation, direct or indirect
damages for personal injury, loss of business profits, business
interruption, loss of business information, or any other
