call Microsoft, they'll hook you up

if you call Microsoft they might actually send you a new CD without keys.....you only need 1 CD, just different keys.

If either of these are installed, you can go into your hard drive and search for the i386 file. Burn that.

It is legal to backup software you have legitimately purchased, as long as you are only using one instance of the installation.

Sure the cracked cd's won't run. Some my audio cd's have.

They want 30$ for the Cd's bah forget it for free ok.


Microsoft is frekin rich why $30 F that

They laughed at me when I asked if they had in Visual C++ 6.0 Stnd Ed. replacements.

$30 is a bargain

you could wait and buy a nice shiny new Vista Ultimate CD for $499

download a oem XP iso from a torrent site and use your legitimate key, since you are using a legitimate key I dont see any moral issues doing it this way, then again my morals are pretty low

Can you use a friends OEM disc and use your key?

How badly are they cracked? If the cracks are small enough, maybe you can make a copy with Nero. In the read options, there's a place to limit the read speed. Keep it really low, and they might survive.
