I have heard that windows xp will only allow u to upgrade
ur comp a certain ammount of time b4 they take away ur
copy of windows xp, well the thing is i got a virus and
had to get a new comp ( really really bad virus ) and i
still have the same copy of windows xp, but i cant open
windows or read the windows disk, if i attempt to read
the disk my computer crashes ( read disk on start up that
is ) and if i try to start windows the comp freezes, so
im guessing this is a windows xp issue, now uppon buying
a new computer i am poor, so is there anny way i can get
my windows xp working without spending any more money?

Are you sure your new computer is working hardwaare wise?
Check it wth a DOS, a Linux life cd or Bart PE.

When installing Windows XP into the new computer, what type
of installation disk is being used? Is it a retail version
of Windows XP? If it is not but is a "branded" OEM version,
it is a complete installation cdrom for new computers or a
modified version specific for the original computer. And
there is a third type of Windows XP installation cdrom, the
"recovery" version. What type is it? Only the retail version
can be installed into different makes of computers without
any issues.
