Recover Deleted WinXP

[Harry]

Hi all,
Sorry if this is a stoopid question. I have been given two desktop computers
that were each supplied with operating system when new. The Windows licences
are valid for just those two machines.

The previous owners have since scrapped the two computers, and gave them to
me. I have the machines and even the licence, but the previous owner used a
hammer and nail to prevent the hard disks being re-used (to protect sensitive
information).

Q
Since I have the computers and the licences, is there any way to get the
operating systems installed in these two machines without having to buy two
new XP installations? To buy them would cost me SEK3000, which I do not have.

At the moment I am running UBUNTU (cos its free), but I would much rather
have WinXP running on these two machines.

Best regards - Harry

The previous owner didn't give you the CD's ?
I guess they might have been a restore partition then.
You might contact the Vendor like Dell or whatever. They may send you
new CD's for a smaller price than a full retail copy.

Sure, go for it.

If the licenses were originally for the retail version, the donors may have
transferred the licenses to other machines, so yours may not be valid. You
won't know until you ask the original owners - or try activation.

I commend you for recognizing Ubuntu is similar to a girl with falsies; when
you get there, there's no there there. But that's okay; Linux users are
willing to accept a hint of the real thing as a substitute, allowing their
imagination (often drug-induced) to fill in the blank spots.


At least with XP, you have implants.
