Ok... I'm probably going to get **** for this. I installed a legal copy of WIndows XP home on a cousin's PC. It was working fine for a year until their ******* kid installed Limewire and the thing is a cesspool of viruses and spyware. But that wasn't enough.
The little ******* surfed more porn sited than I ever did in my foour years of college. So its even more of a cesspool.
Now I'm called into to reformat the PC. But I can't. Why? Because their ********* lost the Windows XP Home cd. There's the sticker I put on the side of it with the CD key and the COA, but alas - the CD has dissapeared without a trace. The ONE god **** thing I specifically told them not to lose - they lost.
It gets better.
I bought it off ebay over a year ago and since ebay sucks they don't keep records that far back, so I can't prove to Microsoft I actually bought it. For all they know I stole it.
So here I am. I'm going to ask if anyone has an ISO or BIN of the Windows XP HOME CD with SP2.
I don't know how to prove this is legit, and I have no problem asking my ******* jock cousins to pay for another copy of XP, but I would like to exhaust all options first.
I have contacted Microsoft and asked for a replacement CD - I think it costs $20. But one of their requirements is a receipt of the original sale - which I can't get.
