Quextions about an OEM version of XP are to be answered by the vendor of the
OEM disk. Only they know what differences there are between a retail CD and
their OEM CD.

Just to "clarify": Retail versions of XP come in a nice box. OEM versions
are just cellophane-wrapped. Which type do you have?

If you did a "full" installation of XP Pro, to replace the existing XP Home,
you need to download and install all the correct hardware drivers needed for
you laptop. XP Pro comes with limited drivers.
