for taking the time to read. This thread can be closed now.

Every copy of Windows is different - you can't just "paste" in any old "key" into any
copy of Windows - no, each key is unique to that copy (cd-rom) it was made for.

The only copy of WinXP you can download for free is going to be an illegal "cracked"
one.

I am teaching a class and a couple of students need *only* the Windows XP
media, is there a link that I could download just the ISO?

**They have keys, I have verfied, these are home users bringing their
desktops in for a computer class who don't have the original cd's that came
with their computers. I have verfied the keys stickered to the back of the
computer**

Thanks for your help.
