XP can be installed on only ONE computer. To install it on a second one is illegal.

you will not be able to activate it on the second computer, ms would detect it, you need to buy a new copy od xp for the second computer, or you could remove xp from the old computer, completely, and inform ms that is what you did, then they will give you a new code for the new computer.
