I have searched the forum for OEM but have not found the answer to my
question, can you guys help please.

I am currently running xppro having upgraded from w98SE, but have
decided to upgrade the machine to a Dell precision and that comes with
an OEM product.

Can a licenced xppro cd be used to repair a machine with an OEM product
installed?

Thanks for you input.

No, the CD key will be different and an installation, even a repair install
will require the CD key. Hence, if you are using a CD that has already been
activated on another setup, either the key won't work on your system or if
you do manage to get it installed, you won't be able to activate it as it's
already activated on another system.
