Greetings --

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

If it was an OEM license, you should contact whomever sold you the
PC.

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.

You can have a friend burn you a copy of his since there is nothing on an MS Cd
which ties it to a specific Product Key. However you will still need your
legal, valid 25-digit Product Key to reinstall and activate it. If you don't
have that, then follow the suggestions posted earlier.
