    This is for educational purpose only. I installed XP on my computer and made a clone/image before installing any driver. Is it possible to install this clone on another computer? Thanks.

    As long as the hardware is identical, it should. It'll probably ask you to reregister it with Microsoft though.

    yes, but when it asks for the product key, it will install xp, but uninstall it in 30 days if you give it an already used key (unless it is a multi computer key) also, you could just use the 1st cd

    If you registered your original install then cloned and re-install it in another with identical hardwares, there's shouldn't be any problem.
