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!

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.
