i have a windows xp installation disk that came with my old dell pc. would it matter it i tryed using that dell windows xp disk on my acer laptop? the acer has vista and it just doesnt run all that great with that os on it. do you think that windows xp would give me any trouble installing it since its not a dell machine? thanks!!
