Thanks, Rich. That does confirm that I need to find a plain, jane Windows XP CD. Not a problem, just might take me a bit. My bulldog stubborness should do well for me here though.....

I'll shout as soon as I get something in hand.

Rich,

I might have found a coworker with a plain version. I'll let you know.

Thanks Sherlok,

But I'm looking for a plain Windows XP CD for Rich. He's got his license key, just doesn't have the CD in hand.

Although the specs may be helpful later on. Appreciate your input!

Nope, sadly.

His license key isn't good for an XP SP2 version. It needs to be plain, jane XP (no SPs).

I might have located one though. Thanks!
