aresgodofwar Posted August 10, 2004 Share Posted August 10, 2004 my friend lost her xp cd, but she still has her product key cause it is on her case (its a gateway). i have a dell computer and have my oem xp cd. can i burn her a copy of my cd and change the product key in winnt.sif so she will have a copy, or do OEMs get different builds of xp and certain keys only work with certain OEM copys?

likuidkewl Posted August 10, 2004 Share Posted August 10, 2004 If you have a winnt.sif you can most definately try it, but it doesn't work don't be suprised. Dell has a tendency to lock the CD into a certain type of machine. So your best bet is to just try it and if not try to find someone who has a straight OEM cd.

argon007 Posted August 10, 2004 Share Posted August 10, 2004 No, OEM can't go away to other people. only Corp. might go away to other people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
