Default Activation: Can I reinstall using XP-SP1 disk instead of original two disks?

I have a legally-licensed copy of XP Pro on my laptop, and have applied SP1.
I need to reinstall (same license, same hardware) and I'm going to see if
the backed up WPA.DBL & WPA.BAK files will save me the activation step.

I also have a legally-licensed OEM copy of XP Pro with SP1 integrated (I'm
building a PC for a customer). Can I use the integrated disk as a
convenience to install both machines, provided I use the correct license
keys?

You need to have separate licenses for each copy of Windows XP to be installed on the amount of computers you want.
