Pissed dell xp disc

i bought a dell xp disc from Vio software a couple yrs ago. after i downloaded it on a new pc & went to activate it, i was directed to call microsoft. The "foreign" lady on the other end said it was not valid because i was not installing on a Dell machine. Is there any way i can use this disc without having to activate it? It is such a waste of 70 bucks! I did email Vio but they would not reciprocate.

Thanks, ssb

Nope, it's only valid on a Dell.
