Any way to restore/repair Win2K without original CD?

I have a machine with an OEM Win2K on which I'd like to
upgrade the motherboard.

According to Microsoft, see http://support.microsoft.com/?id=824125
one may do this by running setup/upgrade from the original Win2K CD.

However my (Sony) OEM Win2k install came without any Win2K CD.

Is there any other way to access the Win2K setup/upgrade software?

This is what happens when we buy new computers that out of the box insure you have to return to the store or call the mfgr. It's a crime. And really should be investigated by the authorities. No with a Windows 2000 installation CD thetre is nothing you can do. But the mfgr may have included what is called a Restore CD. But as near as I can tell they are good ONLY for reinstalling the operating System. You have to go through all the junk before you can get to the actual installation.
