Q: Can you use them on another laptop to tell if my laptop acer AMD Turion?
i have a Dell Windows Media Center 2005 to restore CD that came w / my sisters laptop and wonder .
can I use my sisters or my CD Key acer winxp cdkey (not SP) or to call?
your input is appreciated =)
Best Answer: If the BIOS differs then no, I doubt it will work. Try it, it sounds like you don't have a lot to lose. You can access your XP folders through Ubuntu to recover your files if you need to first.

Re:Your Acer key is for Media Center 2005? If not, then you don't have a valid license to use the Dell disc.

Re:No. The Dell OEM CD will have a CD key embedded in the install files, and it will not activate on a non-Dell machine AFAIK.

Using it on a different platform would violate the TOS at a minimum.
