I have two desktops, using (for this purpose) XPa and XPb.
Each is the same xp cd with different keys of course.
For some reason, desktop one is acting up on me.
50% of the time I sart it, it says boot drive not found or something like that. I had pulled a second drive (not the C drive) before this started acting up.
So, I was thinking of doing a full reinstall, but cannot find XPa. I have XPb for my second desktop.
Can I use XPb when for reinstalling and when it comes up to ask for the CDKey pop in the CDKey for XPa? I do have the key written down for XPa.
Will this work or is the key specific to the disc, even for installation purposes?
Can I install XPb fully in the desktop, then change my key after installation?
Thanks in advance.
