I have a Dell desktop that has a sticker on the top with my Windows XP license info and product key. I would like to clean my hard drive and re-install XP so that I can sell the desktop. The problem is that I do not have the original Windows XP installation CD.
Any ideas on how I can acquire a new Windows XP installation program? I assume there is nothing legally wrong with this, since I would just reuse my existing product key.
@Moab Thanks for the link, was going to go look for the same but had a user bugging me for something here at the office. :-) – N_Lindz – 2011-03-31T14:56:16.040
Thanks for this answer and for the link to request the XP discs from Dell. I went ahead and requested them, so hopefully that should do the trick! – bporter – 2011-03-31T15:17:59.840
Just wanted to follow up in case it's helpful to others. My PC is out of warranty, so Dell charged me about $20 for the disc (including tax and shipping). Not a big deal. However, if your's is still under warranty, you may want to go ahead and request the OS installation CD if you don't already have it. Could save you time/money in the future! Thanks again for the help. – bporter – 2011-03-31T16:01:10.787
