My question: I have a Dell computer. It did not have Windows XP I however toke my friend's comp's Win Xp SP1 OEM disc and install it on my computer. I have the comp boot the cd drive first and when it installs, it never ask for cd key. The really extremely wierd thing is when I go into system properties, the cd key is labeled OEM. When I go to that site and verify my cd key, they say it's a fake one. I also kill the activation using a third party program but I still wonder how is it that they know I toke my friend's OEM disc? I thought since his comp and my comp are both Dells. It just mine's was made before his.
