I am trying to install the Dell XP on a Non Dell MOBO, CPU and SATA HDD; I am
being held up at the ELUA agreement screen. ESC works to exit, Pdg up & Dwn
work to read liscense; however F8 will not work allow agreement.

F8 has worked for other set-up functions so I am certian the key is working.

I do have a new never used OEM XP from the store...I just would rather use
the current softwareand/or confirm this is a Dell XP problem not a hardware
issue??
Thanks

You cannot install a Dell version of Windows XP
on a non-Dell system. The Dell license is only valid for
the original Dell hardware.
