Ok i no this isnt the right forum, but i visit this one the most. Anyhoo-

I have one xp disc my dad already used by my dad on the air meaning hes used the key. Can i use the same key to bootcamp on my macbook without any problems? quick responses would be great!
Thanks!

No. Buy another copy and use the correct forum.

It depends on how long ago he used it to install. Most likely you will not have any problems, you will be in violation of the EULA though. It's your karma :rolleyes:

The Windows license you have is for one machine, period. The timeframe is irrelevant. MS is a bit stricter about that than Apple is, hence the authentication key.

What you are asking is against forum rules. I would just stop now if I were you.
