My wife has a 3 year old Toshiba Laptop that has XP on it. It's way past
due for a reinstall. The problem is that I lost the reinstall disk and can
not get one from Toshiba. I have a Windows XP Home Edition disk that I
bought for my desktop computer. I do not use this computer anymore because
the motherboard had a problem. What procedure do I need to follow with
Microsoft in order to get them to let me use my paid for XP disk on her
laptop since the desktop it was on is now gone, long gone? I would
appreciate any help. Thanks so much.
