    You can only restore a Dell with the original Dell disks. Any set for a different Dell do not work as the drivers are different. This is NOT firmware, by the way.

    This has been covered many many times and is also covered in your Licensing Agreement.

    The Operating System is for one computer and one computer only.

    Unless, you purchase the multi-license version.

    Sorry, it's not like 10 years ago when you could download it on more than one computer.

    You need to purchase a new fresh retail version of XP and you might be quick because after June they are discontinuing production and then you will have to get Vista, or something different.

    If you are working for a Firm & they want you to have this Software - they should buy it & give it to you - it's in their interest to do this, otherwise, you will have to buy it yourself, like everyone else.
