Lost xp cd's for reformat

Mar 13th, 2008

I have a hp 4403us pc with all the reinstall disc's. Do you think that I can used the same disc's on a hp 4400us pc? I can't find the disc's that came with the 4400us. I really need to do a complete installation. Please advise!

depends if the hp cds are custom

if its the sort which allows you to enter a product key then yes, just enter the key from the sticker on the machine its being installed on. otherwise, buy a new copy

If i am helpful, please give me reputation points.
