XP COA help

[thefewtheproud]

Hi,
I have an IBM thinkpad r32 and it is currently running Windows 2000 Pro. Originally it ran XP pro and has the COA sticker on the bottom. If I were to install XP pro would I be able to enter the code on the COA to activate it as a legal copy? If so where could I legally get just the installation disc?
Thanks

Yeah, the code on the sticker should work using an OEM WinXP installation CD. You could borrow a copy or you may be able to order one from IBM/Lenovo, whichever one is still handling legacy support.
