Hey guys I currently have a Dell PC with windows XP home installed. I downloaded a program that got my cd key for me. I just purchased all the stuff minus and OS to build my own computer.

My plan was to reinstall XP on the new computer and then download the windows 7 Beta UNTIL I get the funds to buy Vista Ultimate with the free Windows 7 ugrade. Which then I would install Vista Ultimate untill windows 7 comes out.

My question is....where can I get an xp disk?? I have a valid key I just need a disk with sp2 on it to install it.

your key is only valid for Dell OEM discs and it is tied to the motherboard I believe.
You cant transfer dell OS liscences between computers

shouldn't your XP key be on a sticker on the side/top of your PC?

Oh wow...so I wont even be able to use this key?? :bang head

Ok well is there any way to install the windows 7 until I can get the vista? Or do I need another OS installed first??

No you don't need another OS, Win7 RC1 is available on M$' site for public download

windows 7 is stable you wont need to go down to windows vista

Can u guys point me in the right direction on where to get it?

Also which would be better to get 32bit or 64bit?

just goto microsofts website. I got, and prefer 64 -bit. There really isn't any reason not to get the 64-bit, unless your pc is too old to run it.
