This is actually the wrong forum for technical discussions, with Windows XP or Computer Help being more appropriate, but I'll take a quick stab at it here.
There are generally two categories it could fit into:
1.) Standard OEM copy of XP with Dell branding on the packaging and a restriction as to its use. No custom drivers, software, etc. would be included, making it identical to any other OEM copy you'd purchase off Newegg.
2.) A system recovery disc, fully customized by the manufacturer to include third-party software and drivers as well as OS branding. Installation on any system but that which it was designed for may fail due to hardware support and/or technical restrictions imposed, and it's prohibited regardless.
It sounds like you have the former. Chances are it would work, and the EULA on the CD will likely not mention any additional restrictions, but it would still technically be a violation of the licensing terms to use it.

While shopping at my local flea market, I came across an installation disk for Windows XP Professional. The package was sealed with the CD and booklet. However, the CD has "reinstallation CD" and "Dell" on the label. The booklet has "For distribution only with a new PC" and "For distribution with a new Dell PC only". I have a Hewlett Packard Pavillion 754n running Windows XP home edition. My question is this: can I install this version of XP professional on my computer without doing any harm? Does this disk contain drivers specific to Dell computers, or is this a basic OEM disk from Microsoft containong only XP Professional? When I inserted this disk into my CD drive, a basic installation window appeared on my screen. It said "welcome to Microsoft Windows XP" and gave the following options:
install windows XP
install optional windows components
perform additional tasks
check system compatibility
There was no mention about Dell PC's. I only paid five bucks for it, so there's no great loss. Thanks for any help or answers you can give me.
