Dell Disk XP
I have a dell xp disk, and my mobo for my dell burnt out and I have replaced it. Is it possible to install the XP on the pc again? I have the activation code. Can anyone tell me how this would work exactly
Thanks Last edited by mwhaha; 11-16-2007 at 08:41 AM. |

Most Dell cd's will look for a Dell BIOS. When it isn't found, it will abort the mission...
