Technically, it's only for use on the Fujitsu. If they do things like Dell, it is keyed to the bios/motherboard and won't install on anything else.

it sounds like the win xp cd u have was shipped with the fujitsu pc and made specifically for that pc. if thats the case then no, u wont be able to use on another pc. if you purchased a copy of win xp that isnt tied to a specific manufacturer then you would be able to use it on another pc, you would just have to call microsoft and let them know that the copy of win xp is being put on another pc cause your other pc died

As indicated, pityocamptes, you have an official invite to review the Forum Rules. ----------------moderator-------------------- Eskimo, if it loaded ok, you might want to call Microsoft and see if they will let you activate by phone. Chances are the answer is "no", but you have nothing to lose by trying. By the way, registration is optional, Activation is required. |
