I've somehow misplaced my original XP CD. I have the packaging it came in,
the authentication sticker,..., but not the CD. Is there anywhere I can get
the OS from so I can reinstall it?

Thank you for the help,

QB

I don't think Microsoft offers replacement CDs, but I could be wrong.
If you know the exact version (things like OEM vs retail, full vs upgrade,
branded OEM vs unbranded OEM, perhaps service pack must match too?), and you
can find a friend with the same version, you could copy that CD and it
should install and activate correctly using the serial number on the
sticker.
