You will have to buy yourself your own copy because it will require activation from MS. You will not be able to activate one copy of XP on two computers.

You have to buy a copy. It is illegal to use someone elses copy on your computer. It wouldn't work anyway because of activation.

Your cheapest way is to go to Newegg and get an OEM copy of XP.
