[QUOTE="imanoone2u, post: 296273, member: 24320"] I did the same, windows XP home edition SP2 but it belonged to a compaq laptop. I installed on a Windows computer, registered it with the correct codes, and then the pc crashed...... (motherboard failure), hence me buying the Mac.... I put in bootcamp and tried to install the same XP version and it knocked me back saying "allready used on a desktop, call microsoft in your country...." did so and got a new set of numbers (36 in total) without ANY questions asked.... so.. I guess it is legal. ps, thanks all for responding to my previous question.:D [/QUOTE]
