xp instalation disc

[Guest]

I need to reinstall xp. I've lost disc but still have license key. I've been
told that as I still have license I can get a copy. Does anyone know if this
is correct and where do I get one.

Where did you get the original? Did it come with the PC? Is it OEM?

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.

Er.... That's contradictory. If the software license came with the
computer, it's almost certainly OEM. (The only possible exception would
be the purchase of a second-hand computer with a retail license from a
private party.)
