Windows is very fussy about the hardware. If the hardware changes from when it was originally installed, it refuses to run. This is (supposedly) to prevent unauthorized copies. So it is unlikely you will be able to get the copy on disk to run. However, you should be able to create a new virtual machine and install Windows XP onto it from the CD, using your product key. --Greg -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
