is it possible to get the boot cd from my sister's computer, included with windows xp, and install xp onto my computer? will there be any risks involved in this?

will you be using the same COA code (cd-key) as your sister's copy? If so, then this is illegal to do. Of course, you can get all kinds of pirated versions, but if you wanna stay legal...you need a seperate unused COA for every comp u have running windows.

Also, if this is some dell, hp, ect restore cd...it won't work at all.
