Any way to use WinXP Pro corporate CD for non-corp install?

Apparently I've lost my XP Pro disc. I have a corporate disc though, that I want to use my key with, but it got rejected when I did the authentication to download updates. Is there any way to modify the image? I can't find a regular non-corp image anywhere.

No way will I pay $30 to Microsoft for a replacement disc. I own a license-- it's not reasonable to charge more than the cost of the media and shipping.

You don't know anyone that has a regular Windows XP disc? Yeah, you need a normal XP disc to use a regular cd key.
 
The only people I know with XP discs are in other cities. I'm going to check some old hard drives, because I know I backed it up at some point.
 
MS charges $30 just for media fulfillment? I thought it use to be $10. For less than $30, just go to ebay and buy an XP CD.
