OEM are normally permanently tied to the first computer regardless of the condition of the computer. For all practical purposes your license to use Windows XO burned up with the computer. Another of the many reasons OEM is cheaper than retail. If there was an insurance claim, include Windows as part of the claim. -- Jupiter Jones [MVP] An easier way to read newsgroup messages: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/p...oups/setup.asp Please respond to newsgroup only for everyone's benefit.
