Sometimes it *is* necessary, but more often than not it's terrible advice, spoken by someone who is incompetent at solving problems. but ive lost my copy is there anywhere i can download it from. No. i have a proper key i jusy need a copy of xp pro oem edition? It's the key that represents your license, not the CD. If you don't have a CD, but know someone who has the correct CD (xp pro oem), you can legally borrow and copy it for your own use. -- Ken Blake, Microsoft MVP (Windows Desktop Experience) since 2003 Please Reply to the Newsgroup

Since you purchased an OEM copy, no support from Microsoft was included. You will need to contact whomever is the OEM'er that installed the product to find out how to obtain replacement installation CDs from them. If you bought the OEM software separate of the computer and installed it yourself, you are the OEM'er.
