 Installing XP
Problem:
You need to repair or reinstall XP, but don't have the OEM cd. Trying to use a different OEM cd won't work as the COA won't be accepted (even if it's valid).
Solution:
Use a Dell CD. It won't ask for the COA until the repair/install completes. You will then be prompted to activate and a message will appear to change the product key. Now enter the valid COA from the case and you're good to go!
