I have Windows 7 Home on an HP pc...I plan to add a VMplayer (virtual memory) and then download Windows XP to create an XP Mode on my computer.
The seller sent me a DELL sealed OEM Windows XP Home Edition OS reinstallation disc and registration key...will I be able to use this on my HP pc or not? These are 2 different brands.
I hope somebody has an answer!
Thanks all!

It should work. The problem is whether the key will work, as it may be flagged by microsoft or already in use by someone else. Barring that though, it should be fine. I have a home built PC with XP from Dell, a Dell with XP from HP....
