Pro contains some extra stuff for networking, security, stuff like that. If you're unsure then thats probably answered the question for you, you don't need that crap.

lol fuck microsofts activation scheme. Ive put my copy of XP on about 20 other machines so far, all you do to activate it is phone them up and say you've upgraded your machine and reinstalled XP!

It the daftest scheme ever.

what you need is a copy of windows xp pro corporate edition. its designed to be installed on multiple computers and doesnt need activating, also xp pro is better than xp home edition if thats what you've got. but you will need a cd key with the corporate version

microsoft have put added security in windows xp meaning you have to get a code from them to let your windows run for more than 30 days or it shuts down. this usually means that they wont let you install it on more than one pc.

if its a system restore disk, you wont be able to use it. If its an OEM XP disc, then you can :D
