Guest Colin Barnhorst Posted March 2, 2008 Posted March 2, 2008 Re: install xp Since you have the product key, if you have a retail edition of XP try Bruce's link even if you don't have proof of purchase. If you have a retail copy of XP a friend who also has a retail copy of XP can let you use his cd.
