5.0 out of 5 stars Dell XP Pro SP3, May 14, 2009

By	P. Barker (Kentucky) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I purchased this about two months ago, and it is the Best OS OEM Disc that I have encountered. XP Pro SP3 is the Best Operating System that can be found today. It runs smoothly, with no problems, installs fast and with very little user interaction, and the Price is awesome too... Get One if you have a Dell, and if you have a newer PC, Look on Dell's Drivers Download Section to make sure Dell has the XP Drivers for that version of Computer.... BEFORE YOU INSTALL

5.0 out of 5 stars Great product - Pick your seller carefully!, June 17, 2009

By	Abner G. Rolden "ElectronicToyDude" - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This product is well worth $[...] when you need to install on your Dell. Check feedback for each seller as saving a few bucks to some of the lowballer sellers isn't worth the hassle of being ripped off, slow shipping or poor customer support. That is what the feedback is for! Choose a seller who is clearly customer oriented as a first priority and sells for a fair price and who is experienced with this CD and has proven customer support and you will not regret it.
Download your drivers beforehand from support.dell.com and have then ready after you reinstall XP. The disk does not have every driver on it, but it has many.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect solution to having lost your installation disk(s), July 7, 2009

By	Nathan Beauchamp "Dakotad555" (Oak Park, IL USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 100 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

I had a few older Inspirion computers that I needed to refurbish for donation to a non-profit that my company is affiliated with. Unfortunately, the original XP disks had been misplaced, and I didn't really want to pay retail for XP on computers we were giving away. These OEM XP professional disks were the perfect solution. For less than 1/4 of the retail price I was able to get XP on each computer.

Installation is a breeze, but these disks don't have every single Dell driver on them, but those are easily found on Dell's web page.

The only caution I have is that you check which seller to buy from. Check their detailed feedback and make sure they're worth doing business with before you put the disk in your basket.
