My new laptop came with linux.
My dads laptop has xp home.
I have installed xp home onto my laptop using the windows xp key on the bottom of his laptop. The only thing left now is to activate it.
I will install linux on my dads laptop and then activate the xp home on my laptop.
The only thing is, his xp key sticker says Asus on it and I'm wondering if that will make problems with activation. When trying to install windows media player 11 and when it said validation required to continue installation it said "this version of windows is not genuine".
I assume I should not connect to the internet yet while my dads xp home is still up and running.
Also, i installed xp home from an sp1 cd and then installed sp2 from a cd. I had to install sp2 in safe mode because with sp1 it said i had to activate windows before I could logon.
Any help/advice?
