I have a dell computer.It has windows xp home edition installed. It
crashed on me one day.So I reinstalled the xp disk and it did not work
and could not access the Internet.(I have dsl). After one hour with
dell's tech support. there is another disk with the drivers on it.So
it is not a full xp OEM edition.Thats why Dell can sell them cheap.
Good luck.
