Hello

I purchased a xp home edition for this old p111 (on its last leg now) if
i install it and have to junk it , can i use the xp cd-rom on another
computer?
I think i already know the answer but want to make sure.

Is there some reason you don't want to say what version it is? If it's an OEM version then no, it cannot be moved to a new computer. Per the license it is tied to the first computer and if that dies so does the license. If it's a retail copy then yes, it can be moved.
