It's not stolen or anything, there's a sticker on the case to verify it's authenticity(the os) and it even tells the product key. I need to perform some functions that require the disk, and I don't have a disk, and I just don't want to give Bill Gates anymore money, you know?

you're allowed to maintain a replica of a criminal purchase of utility. i will save a replica of my residing house windows XP and save it for safekeeping. examine the licensing. If I have been on your case, it quite is in all probability "i desire to purpose to place in XP yet I also have a feeling that it ought to no longer paintings, as a result i could desire to have the skill to pass decrease back to residing house windows 2000". if it quite is so and you at the instant are not attempting to stay away from any licensing themes then i could make a picture of the force it quite is on the Vectra presently. Then set up XP on the force. using Norton's Ghost 2003 you could photograph the present data on the force and then fix it decrease back if XP would not paintings out. remember however, you could no longer set up that photograph on yet another workstation, that photograph is barely useable on the Vectra. this is an identical with all NT based residing house windows working structures. The hardware is tied to the archives interior the OS and changing hardware is going to bring about a large BSOD. So, making that photograph can't violate something - because of the fact this is in straightforward terms useable on that one gadget. wish this enables!
