[QUOTE="ViriiGuy, post: 766307, member: 48508"] You need a disc, legal or not, but it must be properly burned to a disc and it needs to be a SP3 copy of XP. You are likely trying with a SP1 disc or older. Even a Dell XP disc will work so long as it is SP3. Manufacturers discs are usually standard XP discs, with one modification. They look in the bios for a valid identifier. If it is found to do not have to enter a product key. If it is not found you do. Unless it is a restore disc, then well it just won;t work as they are not XP discs, but rather burned images of the hdd. [/QUOTE]
