I would like to know if there is any way I can take the
Win xp that I got with my new HP laptop and put it on my
desktop computer which now has Win 2000. I tried
installing the Win xp disk, but I got a message saying
that a certain file was missing and I would not be allowed
to upgrade. Thanks Virginia
 
Preinstalled (OEM) versions of Windows XP are non-transferrable
to another computer. They are designed to only install on the original
computer it came with.

Please read your Windows XP End-User License Agreement:

Start > Run and type: WINVER , and hit enter.

Also, open XP's "Help and Support" and type: EULA
and click on "Questions and Answers about the
End-User License Agreement".
