reinstall xp no cds

[John McDowell]

The hd died on my Dell D600. I'm buying another hd. I don't have the
reinstallation cd for the D600 but I have them for my Dell Dimension 2400
desktop unit. Can I use the Dimension 2400 xp reinstall cd & enter the xp
key found on the D600?

If it's the exact same version, yes.

Actually it depends
is it a recovery CD or a OS CD
Some or most Recovery CD's are tied to the Specific Model
