Can I install windows xp on my laptop?

better go to take your viruses out and they will install them back

No, when you get an XP Install disk it can be used once because of the license key... Besides the fact that when a Windows disc comes with a specific PC it is for THAT brand and model of PC.

For the past several years most manufactures have been putting the Windows XP product key on the computer itself. If so you can use a generic version of windows but still use the legal product key from your computer. However you might not be able to use a Dell restore CD on a HP computer for example. Sometimes if it says: "restore cd" then it might be specific to the computer. But if it just says "windows" then you'll probably be ok as long as you have a good product key.

The answer is No! you can not use any other computer recovery CD at least it is the same as yours. but what you can do is boot your computer in safe mode so you will be able to fix it. to do that restart you laptop and B4 windows logo appears on screen press F8 then choose SAFE MODE WITH NETWORKING so you can use internet.

same problem here 1 time what i ended up doing is taking and dumping all the memory off of my laptop and then reinstalling windows

I don't see why not. You can try it anyway and see if it works

Yes I would have thought so.
