Could i just format the hard drive and boot it up with the XP disc in the drive? Is it that simple?
If you have an XP disk, it's pretty easy. If you have a "recovery disk" from another machine, it's borderline impossible unless you want to jump through a lot of hoops to convince the software it's running on the same machine. At which point you may as well just use a pirated copy.
