I purchased a new Dell Laptop with windows xp installed. I appear to have a hard disk failure. If i buy a new hard drive can i reinstall windows xp with the reinstall cd i got with the laptop.
 
Hi geg2121,

Most OEM XP CDs are locked to the hardware configuration of the system
they are sold with.

For a more comprehensive answer I suggest you contact Dell support or
the Dell forums.

But if the machine is new, use the warranty to exchange it for a new
one.

Good luck
