Here's the problem.
A couple of years ago I purchased a computer with Windows XP
pre-installed. I recently had a bad crash, and corrupted my hard drive.
The recovery disk does not work. I need an installation disk to
reinstall my system.Can I get one from somewhere?
As I understand it, if I go to a shop and buy a Win XP installation
disk, I'm really paying for the licence. The disk itself is a trivial
expense.
I have already paid for a licence for XP. But I don't have the disk
to install it. I don't want to have to buy a new copy and pay for a licence
which I already own.
Can I get a copy of the disk, and the key from somewhere?
I live in the UK, near London.
