Ive a 3 year old laptop, it needs XP reinstalled because it's corrupt.
The laptop was purchased with XP professional installed (all legal and licenced from HP)
I no longer have the XP cd which probably came with the laptop, and I no longer have the XP licence key.
What are my options to get a cd with XP and a licence key so that I can reinstall it
Would it be OK to borrow a cd from a friend and use this for the install (using my friends licence key).
Finally, does every XP key work with every XP cd, i.e. if i could get hold of my XP key, could I use it with any XP professional cd ?
