Hello Everyone -

I want to reinstall my Windows XP Professional OS. Unfortunately, I don't have the original disc any more (all I have is "Home" version). Is there any way I can get another intallation disc from Microsoft?

Hi Willbobo.

Unfortunately there isn't any way that I'm aware of without buying another copy.

You can borrow a friends copy and use your CD key...

Is the key the 20 digit number in the "system properties" window under the general tab?

No.

The CD Key is a 25 alpha-numeric code that is located on a sticker on the side of the case - the sticker comes with the copy of windows or the computer when you purchase either.

OK, I see it.

No problems - marked as Answered.
