Someone break my WinXP Operating System CD,How can i download this OS?

Answer 1

Windows is produced in many different versions, not just Home and Pro there are corporate and oem versions as well as retail so there's a very good chance your key won't work anyway. However, downloading a copy IS illegal because you do not own the original that the copy was made from, this is how copyright law works. You may make one backup copy of the original that you own for your own personal use you may not distribute that copy.
Call Microsoft and ask for a media replacement, they'll give you an address to send the broken disk to along with your details for them to send you a new disk. Once you've bought something you have a right to use it regardless of whether the media that carries it is usable, they will charge you a handling fee but it's very little.

Answer 2

Download System Mechanic professional 6 . install it then run DriveScrubber2 when that is done restart the pc . then when the pc is back and your problems will disappear. Or they will not bother you again. One way or another you wont have any problems what so ever from your pc. Then after you restart your windows operating system will be restored to the beginning.

Answer 3

Download an ISO image through a Peer-2-Peer file sharing program...I suggest eMule Plus. And yes, it's completely legal since you did own the original CD.

hello
Home > Acronis Products >
Acronis True Image 9.0 Home
Complete file and system disk imaging backup and restore software for home and home office users that can protect your entire system and family pictures, videos, music, and important documents stored on your home PC

Acronis announces the release of Acronis True Image 9.0 Home. With this new release you get two backup products in one and then some!
Two in One!
Acronis True Image 9.0 Home provides you with two backup options in one software:
1) Our original disk imaging backup option which enables you to create an image of your entire hard disk drive, including the operating system, applications, user settings, and all data. Use the image to restore your PC to a known working state without any reinstallation.

2) A new file-based backup option which enables you to backup and restore individual files and folders, like your My Documents folder or a specific file, like your latest tax return. A software wizard walks you through all of the steps.
And then Some!
Acronis True Image 9.0 Home makes restoring your system even faster with the exclusive new Acronis Snap Restore feature. It also provides several additional enhancements.

New! DVD Burning — Save backups directly to DVDs without using 3rd party DVD burning software
Exclusive Acronis Snap Restore — Lightning-speed restore of your PC from an image. You can start working in seconds while your system is still being restored.Exclude files — Save space when creating backups by only backing up the types of files you want to keep
Differential backup — Decrease the number of backups you manage. Differential backups capture the changes made since your last full backup, Expanded Acronis Drive Snapshot technology — We've expanded the no reboot feature to include backing up specific files and folders. We can even backup system files and open files with no issues. No matter which option you select, you can continue to use your PC during backup.

Windows System Restore management wizard — If you run Acronis True Image 9.0 Home regularly this feature in your operating system is redundant. Free up to 10% of your hard disk drive by disabling this default feature in your operating system using Acronis True Image 9.0 Home software.
