    My dell PC came with a re installation cd of XP. If I uninstall XP from my Dell machine, can I use this disc on a separate rig I'm building?

    Nope. That dell re-installation is basically a ghost image and is only meant for that PC. if you try to install it on another PC it will detect the hardware change and stop.

    Good luck BTW :)
