A client of mind has lost his XP home restore disk for his HP brand desktop. I need to reinstall windows for the client. I would like to know if a generic OEM install disk would work; by work I mean that when I put his CD key in windows will take it. I know I can order the cds but I need to get this done asap. I have read mixed things online and would like a definite answer if anyone has one.
It worked this time but there has been times before that it hasn't. Wish there was a defiant way to know in advance if it will work or not. Could save me some time. Thanks for the input! – evolvd – 2010-01-27T20:02:42.920
