Use of reinstallation cd of xp on other machines

Posted: 05 Jan 2012 12:42 PM PST

I doubt if you can use the Dell laptop serial on an assembled desktop. From what I know, those serials will only work in Dell laptops or Dell laptops with a sufficiently similar configuration.

If I remember correctly, you have to phone Dell support with your Vista key to get the key for XP; then the Vista key is deactivated and you also get a refund. However, that program has probably ended by now.

I suggest trying what you want to do yourself before selling the laptop. If it works, good. If not, well you can't even buy XP any more. So you'll have to buy and use Windows 7 or use XP via "other means".

Thanks.
I'm on Ortel.
They meet their speed commitment and downtime is not too high.

Looking at what you guys say about reliance, it is out of question, although I'm using it's 3G service which is quite fast within city.

I will never even touch BSNL

Sify is WLAN which is recommended against.

So, it's better stick to ortel for now.

You can now ask for your credit history and credit score from Cibil!

If many banks request your score, they assume that you are "credit hungry" and chances are high for not paying back. That's why it effects the score negatively.

What about you? Has it been implemented for you? Other members who have applied for change of plan, from 1st Sept. has anyone been updated?

by providing the details. You will clearly find an option under modem type "Broadband ADSL SUBS Modem" meaning subscriber provides the modem.

Also there are no charges for any installation or testing etc check this Broadband where they have extended the promotional offer for freedom plans

i got this plan last month on an existing number and you wont believe that it was functional within 2 hours! because i had my own modem router. only thing i got done was got it rewired so that there is one wire from pole to router. Also they have my plan functional from 9th nov and there billing cycle is from 1st to 30th so my bill for last month was less than 700 after all taxes since they adjusted on pro rata basis. Also got 100 calls free for the landline.
only mistake mtnl did was that they initially billed me rupees 300 as activation and testing charges which i got rectified after showing the advertisement to the accounts officer.

i am greatly pleased with mtnl in my area as speeds are as promised during the day (infact around 550kbps). only issue is that during nights they do not deliver full 2mbps. it is around 1.8. but then whenever i have restarted my router around 8-830pm at night i get the speed switch over( technically the plan states it to happen after 11pm at night)and best part is no FUP like airtel(i switched over from them)

i can't expect more from any isp for 800 plus taxes (total less than 900).greatly pleased with mtnl in south delhi (hauz khas)
