Re-installation Issue

I currently have two desktop computers with Windows XP
Professional installed on each.I purchased both XP
upgrades and both were activated.

Recently Computer #2 received a virus that caused damage
and critical files to be lost. I decided to re-install XP
and start over, or fix the problems. However, upon
looking, I only found my disk for computer #1, not both.

If I have already activated the OS on #2 and it was
activated, can I use the disk for #1 to reinstall or
repair/replace files?

I don't think I should have to pay another few hundred
bucks because of this.

Thanks!

Joe
 
Do you have the product key for both copies? If you have
the product key, you should be able to install with any XP
Pro disk.
