[QUOTE="stevo-m, post: 321186, member: 24408"] Thanks for your replies. I understand about not being able to use one disc to install XP on more than one machine at a time, but as far as needing a full retail version is concerned.. does that mean that I would not be able to use something like this?: [url]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/GENUINE-Microsoft-Windows-XP-Home-FULL-VER-SP2b-and-COA_W0QQitemZ330081673470QQihZ014QQcategoryZ41887QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem[/url] There are sellers on eBay selling this kind of thing - which claims to be fully legal, brand new and never been used, installed or activated before - so it looks like it would work and be perfectly legal, but it mentions that it's 'OEM' software. Does anyone know if this would be likely to work, given that it's not actually tied to any particular manufacturer (ie. it's not like it's come out of an HP box). Thing is, I can't really afford to shell out for a retail version, and these OEM ones are only around £60. Thanks again. [/QUOTE]
