Please accept my apologies, I have searched and cannot find a straigh
answer.
I have a computer that through my own fault I managed to wipe out th
os (windows xp home OEM)
I have the licence key on the side of my system and no disc to instal
from.
I have phoned the manufacturer who maintain that as the comp is out o
warranty there is nothing they will do.
I have contacted microsoft who also won't help!
I feel completely begrudged toward buying a retail os as the one i ha
was fine.
I have messed around with computers for a while now and am well awar
that various things can be done but this is a step too far for me.
Am i able to use, or copy, or attain from somewhere, the xp home os
without spending my hard earned cash (since i might aswell buy a ne
system!) that will once again allow my licence key to become useable
or, by being so stupid in not creating a backup of my system have
rendered it useless forever more?
Thanks for any help, i desperately require closure on this issue
