Hello Archie09 :smileyhappy:
 
Only on one I`m afraid.  You need a separate copy of XP for every machine

Technically, you can install it on both computers, but one copy would be illegal.  Depending on what your needs are, you could make one into a UNIX box -- then you have everything you need.  Windows when you need to use it and UNIX for better, safer web surfing.

The initial question was, "With the one xp disc i have, can i install it on both of my computers or just the one?"

More information is required. Are both computers Dells? If so, was Windows XP installed on both computers and was it the same edition (Home or Professional) on both systems? If the answers to both of these questions is yes, the the single XP reinstallation CD can be used for installing on both systems, as both have a COA proving a they are licensed for Dell OEM XP (and the absence of a second XP CD is probably due to the ludicrous Media Reduction Initiative). If the answer to either question is no, the dunedin's original answer applies.
