How about <A HREF="http://www.directron.com/windowxp.html" target="_new">here</A>? They have it for $86.99. All you have to do to order this version is buy a 19 cent thumbscrew with it, since the product is OEM, instead of the full Retail package.

Note: This is a reliable vendor, which is an important consideration when making an online purchase.

You said in your previous posts your dad has an installation disk for WinXP Home OEM, all you need to purchase is a license key for WinXP Home OEM, and you're in business.

where can i purchase this liscense? it just doesn't seem right that whoever would give me a liscense because it came with a dell computer... but that's just me. would my uncle have to call and purchase it because he's the one who bought the computer with the OEM xp?

<A HREF="http://www.compuplus.com/insidepage.php3?sid=4raagmuv8wur28j&id=861" target="_new">Comp-U-Plus</A> has WinXP for $79. And, <A HREF="http://www.compuplus.com/insidepage.php3?sid=4raagmuv8wur28j&id=69" target="_new">Pro</A> for $124.

I never was good at taking advice!

You can find some good deals on Windows XP discs on eBay. But make sure to get a copy with a license key as many times they don't come with one.
