Right well I have Windows XP OEM from my old PC and as that is dead Its not like I have two machines.
So can I put it on my new machine.
I heard somewhere that MS will not give out activation codes as it had to be used on the hardware it was purchased with. (But that hardwares dead now !!!)
So anyway, can someone advise me or else I'm screwed and I cant switch on tommorow.

Thanks.
