OEM versus Rescu Disks

Generally, OEM copies from GW and Dell (my experience) work anywhere. However...since they are OEM disks they won't install over an existing copy of Windows (no upgrade)

However, for fresh installs I've used both on several different machines/configurations to rescue/reinstall and haven't had any problems.

Just used a GW to do a Dell laptop. No problem.
