You pop in your cd and when prompted, you type in your friends cd key code.
As long as both are either Retail or OEM, it should work ok.

Having said all that, I've been lucky in the past to get Microsoft to re-activate an OEM key on a new machine after explaining the older one had died - a dead mobo works. |
