How can I use the Windows XP restore disk that came with a purchased computer to install onto the same system with a new motherboard and hard drive? Windows will want to verify the system is a Systematic, but it wont be because of new motherboard. System is a Systematic system. Also, if I have the Windows key from that same system, can I use that key with a copy of someone elses windows to install on mine legally? Since that copy of Windows came with my system, but Windows will not load unless it is a Systematic system. Thanks
