Hello,

In my house I have a Dell Dimension 2400 running Windows XP. I want to know if there is any way I can use that same install disc that came with the computer to install XP onto my Mac.

Thanks.

I don't think so. That CD is probably a restore CD which can only be used to restore the Windows OS onto your Dell computer, not for installation of Windows on other computers.

The easiest way to find out is to try it. Create a VM and see if it works. If it doesn't, delete the VM and you're back where you started. Let us know either way if you try it.
