one way to find out would be to put it in the cdrom drive and boot up the computer ,you may need to make sure that cdrom drive is set to first boot in the bios or hit f12 on boot to chose the cdrom to boot from .

If a Dell XP cd loads and validates onto a non-Dell system, I would like to know about it.
