My xp pro install disc for some reason doens't work anymore. Even after takin it to a video store to have them repair it, it doesn't work. I'm having trouble finding a way to download an iso file for xp pro. I don't want any hacked versions or anything because i have a valid product key but hacked is all i can find. If anyone knows where i can download a clean iso for xp pro please let me know so i can reformat my computer. thanks

Well i don't think the OS will accept the serial key being as (i think) that it is inbedded in the software / OS. Also we would not like to speak about illegal software here. The only way to solve is to get a copy off a friend or buy windows vista.
 
ya i realize this but everyone i know uses xp home or vista.... therefore, I am screwed. So this is why I'd like to download an iso. there has to be a legal way to do it too. i bought my copy of xp, i have a legal product code, etc etc.
 
i know where to get a windows xp professional service pack 2 iso file, not tampered with!

me!! i have a disk but no product code-i would be happy to send it to via computer but i dont know how to do it with such a large file lol
 
No the key is not embedded into the CD, however you need to make sure you are using the correct version of Windows with that CD Key, for instance Windows XP Home w/SP2, not the original XP Home or XP Pro.
 
ha, well to make things even tougher i need a iso of xp pro before sp2 came out. so thank you but I can't use yours even if we did find a way to transfer it.

Im in a similar situation...I have the XP cd but MY product key isnt working????

going to have to buy... when this happens people buy a small business licence so then they can use the same key on many computers... like big businesses and schools do.
 
that situation is the exact opposite of mine and a much much crappier situation to be in. All i need is a damn cd. again.... any help finding a way to get one would be great. a torrent file will be fine with me as long as the its not a torrent for a hacked version of windows.

btw, microsoft is no help in getting a new install disc. the only way they'd let me have a new disc is to pay ~$40 for a replacement product key bundled with a new disc.
 
You'll have to keep searching the torrent sites. Every so often someone posts an original disk.

Go to the above site and type "Windows XP Pro Original CD" in the search box.
They disks are out there.
 
XP pro service pack 1a? What’s you email? I’m sure we could work something out this weekend. I have a few copies of this one in my desk since you don’t need the key for it.

There are plenty of programs to change it over to an ISO when you burn it. Google burn ISO.

If this is illegal in any way someone please tell me…
PM’s will not work because of the amount of posts we have.
