How to obtain a genuine XP iso ? [paused]

#1 Post by fasteez » Tue Sep 07, 2010 12:36 pm

Hi,

I lost my MSDN XP iso (got it from my last workplace) and I can't find a way to retrieve* a 'clean' iso anywhere (I got lost registering to msdn to get a new one). I saw a thread here about Vista/7 isos to be downloaded from a MS partner .. so I wonder if someone know an equivalent for Xp.

Thanks in advance

* I tried a prepackaged/slipstreamed dvd on torrent sites but it seems that some .dll are missing or wrong.

edit : btw if this topic causes any problem with the board admins, don't hesitate to notify me.

AFAIK no chance legally!

Short of getting one through MSDNAA or the like, I think your best bet would be to grab a disc from eBay and make your own ISO.

Thanks for the eBay idea, didn't think about that. Prices goes from 30bucks to far too high .. I'm gonna keep looking.
