While it is true that the license to run Windows consists of the Product Key and not the physical CD, all XP install disks are not the same. While the OP can certainly use a friend's XP CD, it must match the version belonging to his Product Key; i.e., XP Pro retail/OEM. Malke -- MS-MVP Elephant Boy Computers - Don't Panic!
