Default Just need a little help.

Hey guys

I just built a new rig based on an Athlon 64 and an Epox nforce 3 ultra, my question is i want to use XP on it but i dont know how to use XP off of my sig rig which is the Compaq version of XP and put it on my new system. I want to be able to turn my new rig into my main rig instead of using it as a Linux box.

If your wondering i didnt pay a single cent to build this rig, my gf dad gave me all the parts. So if I can use the XP off my sig rig, it'll save me alot of money.

If I'm not mistaken the key to xp is bound to your old pc you need to buy a new os.
