My original CD just bit the dust while trying to setup another system on sunday, so I need another XP Pro CD ASAP!!! I went to microsoft, but they were no help. They told me I would have to buy XP Pro again. I cant do that since its to F'in expencive. Anyway, if anyone has a spare lying around, please contact me!

Thanks.

I think it doesn't matter as long as there are no serial keys exanged

Levi,

Im only looking for the CD. Thats not against MS rules. I just need a replacement cd.

And to DL it would be no good, as Im on dial up and itd take a few days to complete :P

yeah - the ISO itself isn't going to do you any good without the CD key....

thought that might cause concern, but,

there is nothing illegal or dodge about hosting an image for someone to download and burn - as no key would be provided and he already has a legit copy / licence / key...

but seeing as the other end is dial-up, scratch that ;)

I've already D/L'ed it via my MSDN subscription. :D

Should have an Athlon64 3200+ system put together to install it on by the weekend. Would that be a good box to run RC5-72 on?

actually, technically i think it still is illegal (violation of copyright) to copy and distribute the CD. the software is still copyrighted, even if the lack of key makes it unusable.

not that i think it really matters if theres no key, but... FYI i guess

Twiztid and I have worked a deal. He doesn't need XP Pro anymore. :)

Thank you IUPUI for $10 copies of the OS! :)
