heres the deal, my laptop had xp pro, the hard drive went, the tech had to put in 2000 cause i didn't get the xp pro disk with the laptop.
i have xp on my home computer, can I use that disk to go back to xp on my laptop? they are both dell's. the 2000 does not support daul monitors for separate displays, for say KARAOKE, which I need

You can do it - however Microsoft will flag one to the computers for pirated software. You can legally use only one copy of Windows per computer.
Do a Google search for XP pro - should be able to pick it up for not too bad a price.

It's somewhat possible BUT you risck EULA violations and missing drivers for things on your laptop. If you're on the same drive you had xp on before, I would've just gotten a new drive when that went and used the system restore disc that came with teh computer which has xp pro (you said you had before) on it.

Here's the legal, rip-off way (see source).
