Welcome to AD. You could do that. Can't say I've done it since they implimented the validation code feature but it makes perfect sense to me. Just ensure that you get an OS identical to the one that you had. Heard that it's available on some P2P sites but wouldn't know where to point you. Having said that though read this http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/261319

ok ive done this before. Use the key that is on the bottem(laptop)side(tower) and install the windows xp. make sure that you are using the correct version of windows xp (sp1, sp2) that serial wont work with sp2 if sp1 was on there first. Or you could just restore it with the restore disks that come with the pc
