Software / Win XP Activation crack

This is only going tohelp a few of you.  I read yalls post the other day (thursday i think) and and found a few truths.  One guy says to download and run that utiity from that one site to get your installed productid number.  This works great for doing that.  However, and this is where i got caught, I are running Dell install disks.  NO I did not have the coas to go with them.  Now when I run that litle utility it comes up with believe it or not the same install id. I thought ody thats weird so i put a different HD in my dell and reinstalled same disks (an being a dell they do not have to be activated) and ran said utility again and came up with the same product ids on both installs.  Now i know (because i have done it) that you can use those disk with your coas on any comp and every thing is okay and activates.  My problem is the dell disks I bought were XP PRO not home and the XP HOME coa numbers dont work with XP Pro. Yes both my del bought comps have home on them.  NOw my issue is I can change both my Dell comps to Pro and use the Home disks elswhere or i can call my friend with a Dell with XP PRO get his COA number from him and try it. Guess what, It works and activates, and updates. So the long and short of all this is if you are using a Dell oem disk just find an approriate  (IE HOME OR PRO) COA number and use it. My local library has a lot of dell comps loaded with XP PRO that can be wrote down and used (I THINK).No I am not telling you to do that its just someplace I saw that had those COAs displayed.
