Your neighbours XP cd is not of any use to you., as you will doing a illegal install with it.

The MS EULA states this:

Quote:
1. GRANT OF LICENSE. Microsoft grants you the following rights provided that you comply with all terms and conditions of this EULA:


1.1 Installation and use. You may install, use, access, display and run one copy of the Software on a single computer, such as a workstation, terminal or other device ("Workstation Computer"). The Software may not be used by more than one processor at any one time on any single Workstation Computer.

Get your friend to purchase a legal operating system to install, instead of pirated copies.
