There is no way to do it... I ran into the same problem. I have a valid CD key for Win XP Pro, but no CD.
What you can always do to save money is purchase an OEM WinXP cd... They're available online...
OEM is WinXP without the tech support basically.
Window's Tech Support. /me laugh's :D
god I feel retarded at the moment ...

Don't worry, nobody understands front2back.
You need a WinXP CD for the installation after the format. It doesn't have to be bootable though. What I ended up doing is copying an XP upgrade CD. I installed Windows 98, then upgraded it, I had to use a pirated cdkey for the upgrade, but then I just switched the key back to my legal one once the upgrade was done.
Thank you for making my day ;)Quote:
