Re: Windows XP Installation Disk

Mike - clarification - you cannot use any XP CD with your key -
keys are specific to a XP CD - Also lots of confussion about
reactivation of OEM OS - following is a quote from Microsoft Product
Activaion info:

"...In the unlikely scenario that the BIOS information does not match, the
PC would need to be activated within 30 days by contacting the Microsoft
activation center via the Internet or telephone call - just as in a retail
scenario."

I have an HP system with a hidden recovery partition on it. I purchased
and
built a new system from scratch, and I want to transfer my copy of XP onto
it. I plan on installing a version of Linux on my old system which
currently
has XP on it. I understand that I can use any XP installation disk to
install on the new system, and that I can use my key (which is legit and I
own it). I don't have a disk to use, however. Does anyone know how I can
create an installation disk?
