about a year ago i made the copy of this disk for my dell computer. A few months later, i ran the Backup CD for a problem. once my backup is complete, one final stage is left and that is validating my Windows XP (genuine WDOWS) with a whole bunch of numbers. ( Not sure what it is called. They gave me a number to get me the numbers to the Windows validation complete which is the end of the backup. they gave me a number to call microsoft phone support . i called the number and they asked me a bunch of questions about the computer ex. service tag etc.... i got my number and my windows was valiadated.
Now the question is can i do this again?
the concern is that microsoft may think this is an illegal copy of Windows Xp or something.
P.S i didnt write down the valiadation number. :-(

It's OK to do this again, the Service Tag proves your XP is legal.
