but it doesent detect cd. i dont have floppy but do have floppy drive. what can i do??? please help. jwqAn XP CD will not say Intel on it...go into the bios SETTINGS and set the boot priority to boot to the cd drive first!Quote

Unless Sharpie is used Correct me if I am wrong, but If it's three PC's you will need three different versions of XP setup CD's etc as you can't use three same OS's on line with the same Reg key etc, I don't think MS would be too impressed,

Well no, see - you can install it on all the pc's you want - it WORKS. Really. Go AHEAD, try it Quote from: patio on September 19, 2009, 04:37:54 PM

checked what I have that I have used on many PC's without issues...and changed my post accordingly...so I acquiesce to you and the other posters who disagreed...

I should have said an OEM CORP. CD...which is what I have..
