The license you have for the current windows XP will most likely be for one user only, meaning if you had it running on two machines at the same time, you would be breaking the copyright. It might even say you cannot install it on any other machine, even if you delete it off the original machine.
To quote the windows XP help:
Can I make a second copy of my Microsoft Windows operating system software for my portable computer?
The answer is generally, "no." Copyright law and the terms of your End-User License Agreement (EULA) govern your rights to copy and run Microsoft software. In the case of Microsoft Windows operating system software, the EULA does not permit you to run more than one copy. If your Microsoft operating system software (such as Windows XP Professional or Windows XP Home Edition) was supplied to you preinstalled on a new computer system by an original equipment manufacturer (OEM), different license terms apply. In such cases, you may not make a second copy and the software itself is not transferable to a different computer system, even if you delete it from the original computer system. Please read the EULA contained in this software for complete information. Please note that under certain Microsoft volume licensing programs intended for businesses, you may have different rights. Please consult the agreements that govern such programs for complete information.
Or no its impossible to do?
> so is that a yes u can... illegally, breaking EULA, etc?

Windows also registers online and will know if you have two or more copies running at the same time. So no, you can't.
You can start to download cracks and things to prevent Windows registering, but I'm not telling you where to get them as it's illegal.
