As far as i can tell it worked. I had a backup disk of Vista for a Dell. Someone wanted me to work on their computer for them and the harddrive was failing. So got a new harddrive, but they couldn't find their backup disk. So i installed it using the dell disk, but activated Vista using the Product code on the side of the machine. It said Vista activated, but the Hp is now recognized as a Dell machine. It's a very old computer, so it's not like this a huge concern, I'm just worried about the product activation affecting the other computer the Dell disk came from.
Like i said, it's registered under the machines Product code, but still, any info would be useful.
