Lost xp cd

[Spud5437]

Im working with an old dell that I want to reinstall windows on but I don't have the cd. I have the product key on the side of the machine - xp home. Is there a way to download a cd? I also have an old fujitsu siemens xp home cd, could I use that to format and install windows?
Thanks for any help

Most likely, the fujitisu disk will work with your other key.

It wasnt until vista did things et really locked down.

if you want the Dell OEM disk
The Windows XP OEMBIOS Archive

if you want just vanilla XP
The Windows XP Repository

the fujitsu disk might work too. just use the key on the Dell. may have some fujitsu brand specific software or wallpaper.

Thanks. I'll try the cd I have here today and see how it goes.
