Hi,
I posted this before but the thread got off track because I didn't put enough info in it. I bought a 3rd or 4th hand computer recently, it's got a Windows XP Home OEM sticker on the back with the Key and all, but of course it didn't come with the original disk. I am absolutely certain it was NOT built by any of the big vendors, looks like it was made by a Mom & Pop computer store and I have no way of finding out who. I know I can use a pirated CD to reinstall windows but I don't want to do that I want to get an ORIGINAL disk, and no I don't wanna put frickin Ubuntu on it! I'm planning on reselling this computer for a profit so pirate windows or linux are out. I searched on the microsoft web site to see if I could order a new one but couldn't see anything. Any ideas?
