    Hi Ive lost the recovery cd for my dell inspiron 1100. I want to do a rebuild as my laptop has gone very slow lately. I have noticed a sticker on the bottom of the laptop with the Windows XP Home edition product key. I am just wondering if I get a copy of winows xp home edition install cd and use the product key on the sticker will it work.

    Any responses welcome.

    Yes Ive done this several times!!When you start your Laptop boot from the Windows cd and you wont even be asked for the product key!!

    The disc from dell isnt unique!!The product key is if you do end up having to enter it!!
