There's basically two things to think about; licensing and reasonable use.

If it's windows xp OEM, and it didn't come with a purchased OEM machine (say Dell, etc), you are not legally licensed and you'll never prove reasonable use. That also assumes the seller of the OEM machine was legally licensed to include the OEM copy of XP.

If it's a driver disk for a network card, and you own one, even though you didn't get the disk with the card purchase, it's going to be easy to show reasonable use. You can't use the card without drivers, etc..

Extremes, yes, but generally sound.
