Could you be more specific? "These disks" could be anything. If they are disk that came with the computer, chances are everything on them have already been installed.

If I understand what you're asking: your computer doesn't know.
However, the latest three versions of Windows (XP, Vista, and 7) all require activation. Microsoft maintains a record of whether a license key has been used.
That's for retail and OEM licenses. I'm unfamilair with corporate licenses, but I believ that they're handled differently.

win7 how does my computer know if a program is installed or not
I have an older DELL -(PC) that quit working so I bought a new 27" Imac - capable of having the best of both worlds -- with a quad chip - and 3.1 Mhz speed.
I doubt if anything has been installed on it.
I spoke to MICROSOFT on a land-line last nite-- man are they rude! --
I explained my situation --and I was NOT at any of my PC computers. I did find out though that even though I am allowed to be running 3 different computers with my WIN7, 1) I CANNOT sell any one version to another person, but I CAN GIVE A COPY of it away!
