[QUOTE="chscag, post: 964572, member: 46727"] It's not "Boot Camp" that must accept your license, it's the MS activation process. Your OEM Dell version as far as the MS EULA is concerned can not be used on another machine. And yes, I know about the "hack" which changes the type of copy that Windows XP presents itself to the installation program and therefore, the activation process. Again, this is a EULA violation. If you want to run XP from a Boot Camp partition, why don't you purchase an OEM System Builder's copy of XP Home SP2 or 3? That will give you a legal version to use. Or, buy a MS boxed copy of Windows 7 Home Premium upgrade. Regards. [/QUOTE]
