Make sure the cd key isnt a dodgy one or all your Windows Updates will be stopped soon. Little Billy's cracking down on piracy.

how can u tell if it is or not?

You need to have a look and tell us what your PID number is (Providing the cd key your using is the same one you will be using for your friend) Also what version of XP is it? Home, Pro or Corp?

is a PID number a cd-key, and no i won't use the same key for a friend

No, you would need to install the Windows copy using the cd key you will be using and go int START>>>CONTROL PANEL>>>SYSTEM and then under REGISTERED TO: It has a number, its the 3 digit part. So for example it could be 645. There is no way to get the PID without installing Windows with the cd key and checking.

Is it HOME, PRO or CORP copy?

Corp and number is 641

a PID key of -640- will make microsoft, that a cracked/pirate corporate version of window is a legit version, allowing that person to keep on reciving updates. I have a pirated version of windows with a pid of -640- and M$ thinks its legal
