Default Installing VISTA on new HDD


Hi,
I have a gateway barebone with P4 @2.8 motherboard and will get a HDD
and some ram. I already have a dell computer with windows Vista on it,
and extra vista dvd that says (for installation only with new Dell
PC).
If I install it on the GATEWAY computer with the new HDD will I have
any problems?

Thank you for your advice

Default Re: Installing VISTA on new HDD

A Dell Windows Reinstallation CD will only install and activate
on a Dell computer. You cannot use that disc on any other non-Dell PC.
