Can I load a reinstallation cd from a new dell computer
into my old hp pavilion? The cd has never been used. I
currently am running 98.
 
The Dell Reinstallation CD is BIOS-locked and will only install
and activate on the Dell PC it was designed for. So the answer
to your question is "no".

No. Purchase a legitimate license if you wish to install WinXP on
the HP computer.
