Trying to fix my cousin's Fujitsu-Siemens Amilo L7320 on XP Home, which won't even boot into Safe Mode

Runs fine otherwise.

Need to reinstall, but all I have is an XP Home OEM CD. (and one that's branded Dell but I suspect that won't work). Will a stock OEM CD work with the Fujitsu code number?

Either should work, if the key is automatically input during install, you're legally allowed to use it anyway. Go for it.

I shall try the Dell disk with the Fujitsu COA.

If all else fails I shall "obtain" an XP Home disk.

The stock XP OEM disk worked fine with the Fujitsu COA, activated fine after a repair installation.
