@Mike, your Dell Inspiron CD requires a Dell OEM XP Install CD.

The number on the bottom of the laptop cannot be used ANY XP installer. It’s simply there document the fact that the computer was issued an xp license.

When installing Windows XP from a Dell OEM XP Installer CD, it will NOT prompt you for any numbers, key, etc. Period. If you try and used that Dell OEM XP installer CD on another non-Dell system, it WILL prompt you for a key.

This is what the disk looks like. And it is what you need.

hello.
i have a problem. my computer came with windows installation on it and the files to reinstall in case you format the computer.
but for some reason this hidden part of the HDD was not accessible after format and in desperation i downloaded windows home sp3 now.

when it asks me for my product key i enter the one on the bottom of my machine (the one that came with the windows home version i was using before formatting).
for some reason this windows version wont allow it though.

what can i do?

I slipstreamed SP3 on my XP Pro Sp2 OEM, and it works in the same way, i have now a xp sp3 pro OEM installed without key and 30 days to test it until activation, i think the home edition version works similar
