I have the key that came with my computer for the media center edition software. Were going to reinstall windows on my computer but I do not have the disc. My roommate has a legitimate XP disc he purchased, not media center edition. Question is can i use his xp disc with my key, or is the fact that my key is for media center edition going to give us problems.
Thanks, sorry if it was a confusing question.

what do i do if i need to re-install windows? Should I call dell and get the disc? They never sent one out with the computer when I purchased it. The key is on a little sticker on the bottom of the computer.

That is illegal channeling of a licensed product. If you have any questions you may call 1-800-rulegit

Your "Legit" code is not legit to the coding on your room mates
cd as the algorithm programs each cds installation process differently. Youll need to contact your company that your computers from and ask for a new disc and code

It wont work because the keys are different for different discs.

the point is that windows offers for one system only...it may not activate on your system..
