Ebay

It's quite safe. I purchased Windows 98 SE off EBAY and it comes with a boot floppy aswell as manuals and COA

If the PC has a Win2000 COA sticker on it you can get a disk from anywhere (if 'ya know what I mean).
Just use the key attached to the machine (COA sticker).

Actually, Windows 2000 does not have any protection like how XP does. So you can illegally get one and still be able to get updates.
