I've asked this before and got a great rapid response from people but I've realised I was too vague.
I dont have my windows cd but have the product key on my laptop and was wondering does the windows cd matter? I've had one guy give me the link to some web page talking about microsoft now only allowing the same cd, its an OEM since I got it with my dell, windows already installed on it.
Now that I need to reformat I have the windows cd for my moms dell laptop but dont know if it would work, its a service pack two and I dont know if my windows cd already had that.
Does any one know how much a difference this would make? I'm afraid when I go to activate it it would be considered illegal and shut down. My other idea is to ask dell to send me a replacement and just pay for what ever charge, if I cant use a diff cd. Has any one done this before?
