Ripping windows from a set of cd's

Kejaha · 18 May 2006 at 20:26

A couple of years ago I purchased a laptop which came with its own set of set up cd's which included windows xp. I do not use the laptop now but have just built a new pc. Now, without getting into arguments about the ethics or legality, if I have already paid for windows how can I rip? windows from the set of cd's so I can instal it into my other pc?

I would say that given you're posting on a forum in full view of the public and lots of moderators, arguments about legality are fairly important.

Yes thats true sorry, would it be illegal then?

I had a copy of XP with my laptop (Fujitsu Seimens Amilo D) and i managed to install it on a new build and have it activated. No problems 1 year on! . I guess im one of the lucky ones.

How did you go about it?
