Whitetiger, it depends on the type of windows xp cd you have.

If it is OEM, then Microsoft WILL NOT allow another computer to authenticated.

If it is a regular version then just call them and tell them the new one is the only one with XP on it.

Or... just get a copy of the corporate XP.

And then you give them your serial and they check it and it is valid...

They never once asked me for my Serial number. Thought it was quiet strange, so i tried again a few days later, they didnt ask for it again, So i did it again a week or so after, and now have XP on all 3 of the PC's i built recently :)
