Hi folks,

I've got a few Win XP based PCs around but they all have OEM installed operating systems and I don't have the recovery disks. Anyone have an install CD?

I have the correct (and legal) activation codes, just need the discs. Of course, if you have a copy with codes that's even better.

Thanks!

    I may have a set of non-proprietary discs(dell, hp, etc.) left over from a custom build that I did several years ago. If you are not able to get help from other members, let me know and I will look for them.

    Thanks. I've already got a set of Dell discs on the way, but yours might work better. I'll take them if you can dig them up.

    Please PM me your PP ID and I'll get funds to you.

    Thanks!

    Just an FYI, those Dell/HP/OEM discs will work on any PC (they aren't propriatary at all). I've used my Dell disc on numerous PC's. If I recall, it did create a Dell folder somewhere, but it didn't affect anything.

    Basically it's the license you have to worry about. OEM license needs a "branded" disc. True XP licenses need a real MS CD. Hope that helps!

    Oh - if activation fails and it wants you to call, go ahead and do it. The automated system will give you an activation code once you tell them this windows install is only on 1 PC

    Great info. Thanks!

    This is a project to convert an old Dell PC to a machine to rip and play SACD and DVD-A multichannel files in my HT. I've read a couple threads that tell how to do it and I thought I'd dedicate some time and (very) little money to see if I could do it. I'm basically adding an HDMI output card to the pieces I already have, downloading some free SW and giving it a whirl.

    Might work, probably won't :-)

    You can also legally download a windows install file as it's the licence that's protected. I did this with my wife's PC and it worked just like an OEM disc.
