Re: Reinstallation Questions

Do you have an SP2 update CD? There were issued for free in 2004. If not
perhaps a friend has one. They can be used on any machine.

I am in the process of rebuilding two Dell PCs with XP. The restore
disks are SP1, and updating takes forever. Machine number one is
complete. Machine number two is identical in every detail. Is there
any reason that I should not image the drive on machine one and
restore it to machine two (realizing that I have to then change the
machine name on machine two?) Both machines are fully licensed.
Yes, there is a good reason: You can have only one machine
with a specific product code (assuming that you have a Retail
Licence), not two.

I would assume he has two OEM licenses (two Dell PCs).



Yes, I have to full, legal OEM licenses. ("Both machines are fully
licensed.")
