XP Media

Hi, my OEM supplier has gone out of business. I have discovered that the
value-added directory files were not installed on my system so I need to get
hold of a copy of the XP media disc to locate them. MS refers me to my
supplier who no longer exists - any ideas how I can get hold of a disc. I
have valid product id (OEM) and key.

Microsoft does not replace OEM CDs. You'll have to purchase
another copy of Windows XP.

Microsoft Windows XP Professional With Service Pack 2 - OEM

Microsoft Windows XP HOME Edition With Service Pack 2 - OEM

If you just need to install the Backup utility in XP Home, see the following:

Thanks - the back up program gets over one problem, lets hope that's all I
need.
