reinstalling xp

[alex sanz]

My office has 11 Dell computers with windowx XP. In one
of the computers we need to reinstall XP but we don't have
a way of recognizing what XP CD came with the computer.
We have 11 unopened Windows XP CD's. Does it matter which
CD we use? Do we need to use specifically the one that
came with the computer. How do we know which CD belongs
to the computer. Thanks,

Hi

Download and run the following file. Then see which - if any - CD Product Key matches it.

If all of the CDs are identical Dell OEM installation CDs, it
won't really matter which one you use.
