using xp oem again

[RollTide]

hey guy I have installed xp before and activated my oem version. Later I took it off and now I kinds need it back on there. Will I have problems with activation?

Another question, I now have leopard installed do I really need the DVD once installed to complete driver set up? I did it ok in Tiger. Hope this is clear enough thanks guys!

If you are using it on the same machine you should not have any problems. If it fails to activate just call the number provided and tell them it is a reinstall.

thanks! Now do I really need the leopard DVD to install more drivers? It is currently a coaster 🙁

Yep the bootcamp drivers are on there,unlike Tiger where you could burn them to a separate Disk,
time to find a new coaster for a few minutes

Don't forget to get your latest video drivers once you are booted to XP.

Well the dvd got in a battle with a terrier.....and lost (Thus the coaster comment). My G/f's macbook came with dvd, will it be the same deal?

I believe all the DVDs are the same, so you should be good to go.
