A friend has a small home network with a variety of OSs (Win 98, ME etc) and recently got a Dell Pc with XP home bundled with it.
It came with an XP home install CD and he is positive that he can use that CD to install XP on another PC in his network.
I've tried to tell him it's impossible but he won't listen.
So, people, please help: Is it possible to have a Dell (or any) Pc running XP home and then use that PC's XP home CD to install that version of XP home on another PC that will be on the same network?
I'm not talking ethically/legally, I'm talking 'is this possible'?
I say no, friend says yes.
Who is right?
