Hoping someone can help. My laptop operating system has died while on holiday, and I urgently need to beg, borrow or buy an XP distribution disc so I can repair my computer.

I have the Microsoft license number, so just need to get hold of a disc, and will be able to sort the problem from there.

If anyone could help, we'd be more than grateful. We're in Palm Mar, and have transport.

Cheers!!

Why not consider changing to a Linux OS, it is free and IMHO much better and far safer than Windows. You can boot from a USB or CD and recover any files that are on the hard drive unless the drive is corrupted.
Just a thought but worth considering, have a look at http://www.ubuntu.com/.

I have the windows XP pofessional disks that came with my Dell laptop.
You can borrow this if it of any use to you or I can do you a copy free of charge. I am on the Golf

Give me a ring or pop into my shop; I have all the Windows OS disks from Windows 95 onwards and you may borrow a copy. My contact details are in my signature.

Not that urgent then....... ?????? ......
Unless of course you are reliant on begging, borrowing someone else's pc to post.
