from what I'm reading on TPB the serial can work for any install but it won't pass the activation, even if it's a generic XP install? so I'll only have 30 days to use it. but if I download the one specific to the brand of laptop it should work?

As for activation, if it does not work when activating online, then just give MS a call. They will ask for the code displayed on your activation screen. tell them you are just doing a refresh, and they will authorize your computer. MS just wants to make sure the cd key isnt being used on more than 1-2 comps.... ( ive done this lots...)
If you really need one, I have a spare OEM Win Xp Pro cd lying around that I can burn you a copy... Works with all OEM CD Keys.
