Guest stickybun Posted September 20, 2007 Posted September 20, 2007 I need to reinstall xp. I've lost disc but still have license key. I've been told that as I still have license I can get a copy. Does anyone know if this is correct and where do I get one.

If it was a retail license and you have proof of purchase: How to Replace Lost, Broken, or Missing Microsoft Software or Hardware http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;en-us;326246 If it was an OEM license, you should contact the computer's manufacturer. -- Bruce Chambers Help us help you: http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety. -Benjamin Franklin Many people would rather die than think; in fact, most do. -Bertrand Russell

If the software license came with the computer, it's almost certainly OEM.
