I recently obtained an Emaching with a fried motherboard. I was going to replace the bad parts and rebuild the PC. I do not have any of the original software but there is a Windows XP sticker with the key on the back of the PC. If I need to reinstall XP will I run into problems with the replacement parts and Windows XP registration? Will I need the original XP install disk or can I use another source?

Thanks.

You can use any CD you want, provided the key is for that version (Home, Pro or Media Center). The only thing you might encounter is having to phone MS to activate Windows.
