I have an old pc from Dell that dosen't work so I figured I would try to use OEM Cd that came with it. I still have the product key that is on the computer but I want to know if I can use my oem copy of windows xp in virtual box

I did try it and xp won't activate(unless I got the key wrong 3 times) does anyone know of anyway to trick virtualbox into letting me use this copy. I am not willing to buy another copy

Oh not a good reply. We do not condone violating licenses, and it is not virtualbox that is stopping this it is Windows.
