I have 2 Inspiron 8600 notebook computers. 1 purchased from Dell refurbished call it computer "A" and the other was purchased from Dell new call it computer "B". The systems are identical save minor software differences. I want to do a repair reinstallation on computer "A" ...however the CD's for computer "A" are in storage. I do have the CD packet from computer "B" ... the new 8600 that includes the Reinstallation CD. I have product keys for both "A" and "B" ... can I use the XP Pro Reinstall CD from computer "B" on Computer "A" for the reinstallation/repair? If prompted, which product key should I use? I wasn't sure if the CD's were somehow unit specific. Thanks very much ...
