Replacment Windows XP Disc

[Francis]

Hello all,

I was wondering if it is possible to order a replacement Windows XP disc
from Microsoft.

I have a valid Windows XP key, but my CD is damaged. It shows a "Cyclic
Redundancy Check Error" during the installation. Is there another way to
fix this?

Thanks,

Francis

If it was a retail license and you have proof of purchase:

If it was an OEM license, you should contact the computer's
manufacturer.

If yours was a retail version, see

But if it was an OEM version, Microsoft won't support it and
you're probably out of luck. However it doesn't hurt to try
asking the OEM you bought it from if they can replace it.
