You have a "copy" of Windows XP with SP1 slip streamed? Or, you have a copy
of SP1.

The former is illegal to put on more that 1 PC. The 2nd can be used as many
times as you desire.

Nigel;
Are you referring to Windows XP CD that also has SP1 as part of it?
If yes, you can not install it on a second computer.
One license, one computer, the way it has always been with all
consumer Microsoft OSs.

One license, one machine. It has been this way for years!
