XP setup

[Khanh Nguyen]

My kids and I share a PC. I made the primary hard drive
removable so I can pull out my hard drive and let them
insert theirs and off they go.

Can I install 1 copy of Win XP on *both* of these 2 hard
drives--they are identical in terms of make (Western
Digital) and size (80GB). Thanks--Khanh

Quote from Mike Brannigan [Microsoft]:

"No, you may only install the licensed copy once to one PC.
The use of removable drives is the same as dual boot setups with 2 disk
installed - it requires you to install to the machine twice - but it is a
different PC (due to the different hard drive) so it is a violation of the
EULA".
