Where can I get the Windows Installation Disk for an HP computer

I bought an HP Pavilion system with MCE 2005 Edition and all the standard crap. I call up HP for a re-installation disk and they provide the Restore disk for free (with all the crap) but charge full price for MCE for the OEM installation disk for MCE plus I lose the warranty on the system :disgust:. Can I just download the MCE ISO from somehwere and use the key I have? Need some tips and info here.
 
Not legally, and you might need a warez version since your license key probably won't work with an OEM ISO.

Can't you just restore and then uninstall the bits you don't want?

could do that, but thats too much hassle and some things I cant remove, is it possible for me to talk to MS and get them to give me a CD?
