....for XP drivers (for each computer).

Sometimes you might have trouble finding a certain driver for a specific unit....depending on the age.
Some newer machines CAN be a pain-in-the-ass finding a driver for stuff like a wireless card.

Be sure to save the drivers for each unit on a flash drive or disk. Makes installation a little easier.

As far as putting XP on 2 machines...PM me if you have trouble.
