Win XP Home Ed. for download??
Anybody that could help me out with a link where I could download a XP Home Edition SP1 CD (ISO file or something similar), without any product key of course.
Trying to help a friend. Her motherboard failed on her. She has an AMD Athlon 2400. She had an ASUS motherboard, but the only thing I could find for her locally was an AOPEN motherboard. Sooo.. since she had Win XP I was hoping it would do well... reinstalling a bunch of drivers on the first couple of boot-ups and stuff.. but nopes! Doesn't boot at all now.
She lost her Win XP CD, but she still has the sticker on the computer with the Product Key. Thought, well.. Microsoft will probably give me a link to an ISO file I can download or at least mail me a replacement CD if I provide the legit Product Key... I call them up.. 10 minutes before closing hours.. ! Some asian lady who has a very heavy accent answers and she is having the hardest time understanding... I finally get her to understand I need a replacement for the lost CD and I have a Product Key to verify with. She tells me to give her the Product Key.. and then click ! She either hang up on me, or the whole office just shuts down at closing hour!??
Maaan that made me mad, so of course when I tried to call back, I got the message to call back another day... rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!
We do have the MSDN Technet CD's at the college where I work, but I don't ever remember seeing any Win XP Home Editions among those CD's? Anyone who knows? Else I guess I can drive in to work and get it.
But if someone has a link to a Trial version or Product Key-less version, that would be awesome!
Thanks!
