Repair

[Jerry]

I have a computer I recently built and installed Windows XP from a OEM disk I

purchased. This replaced one I took out of service but intend to return to

service shortly.



Recently my new computer crashed and I had to us the XP Install disk to do a

repair. I inadvertently used the disk from the computer taken out of service.

Subsequently I activated the new computer using the product number from the

computer which is not currently in service.



Do I need to re-repair my new computer and activate the original product

number?

Did it activate?
