Question Re installing XP

Right my PCs pretty ****** at the min, so i want to reinstall my Windowns XP media Center edi.

Only thing is i dont have a disk. Can i download a image somewhere and burn a disk, then use my serial to make it genuine?

Really need help with this to make a boot disk and for the options so i can keep all my files etc.

I got this prog wif my computer call PC angel, you press F12 or something when its loading, and it brought up options to reinstall windows. But when i sent my computer tp get fixed it came back without it. So if any1 nos how to get that back it would be helpful also!

Thanks in advance!

JAY!

Hello Jay,
We would be grateful if you would refrain from using language that others may find offensive.
I would also like to point out that we have minors that use this forum.

Thankyou for your kind co-operation.

Hello Jay,

Unfortunately we cannot provide you with a place to download a copy of windows.

can you enter windows through safe mode?

ooo, sorry bout the language!

ok, well if i get a copy of my friends disk, would that work?

And yes i can enter safe mode, i can turn my computer on ok, its just really slow and want to restore it to how i got it without deleting files or programs.

Could you not simply use system restore, back to a time before the problem occurred?

From your first post you need the CD:

XP Media Centre Edition

Check out friends/family to see if they've got one.

Otherwise what disks came with the PC, also please advise make & model of PC.
