I have 2 Dell's. A laptop that is 3 years old. I just purchased a new
desktop. Both run XP.
I want to get a larger HD for the laptop. For formatting and loading XP,
may I use the NEW disk that came with the desktop (and use the laptop's
security code)? Since the new disk is the SP2 updated disk I figure this one
would be bette than the old disk. Both disks (for laptop and desktop) are
OEM disks. I was told they are machine specific and therrefore the new disk
will not RUN on the old laptop.
Thanx
