    I just received my T60 with XP Home installed. I want to do a clean install of XP Pro. I do have a copy of Dell OEM XP Pro (with serial & COA). Is it possible to install the Dell OEM XP Pro on the T60?

    The Dell OEM disc checks for a Dell BIOS.

    All OEM discs do this.

    It would also be illegal.
