Windows XP Small business Reinstall?
My very nice boss gave me his Windows XP disc after installing it on our office computers. Will I be able to install this on my home computer or will I run into problems? I currently run Windows 98

You might run into some problems. I don't even think this is legal. As far as I know, you can only use that XP cd to install the OS on 1 PC. Installing it on other systems is considered piracy.

Actually since it is a business, and lets say he bought the disk with liscensing for 5 computers and has only put it on 4, PC's that I would think it would be legal for U to have it...It all has to do witht he EULA, you know that thing we agree to when installing but never actually read...
