Windows does not come with DVD decoder software. You must install a third
party app such as PowerDVD in order to watch DVDs with either version of
Windows XP.

That's odd - I have a DVD Player from Microsoft as part of my installation
of XP Pro. It works with Windows Media Player 9. Look for
\windows\system32\dvdplay.exe

Then you have a truly unique copy of WinXP. I would suggest that you
insure it for a fairly large sum of money, because every *other* copy of
WindowsXP does not include a native DVD decoder codec.
