Is it possible to get replacement copy of XP?
I need to reinstall XP after a hard drive failure on my MacBook using "Bootcamp". And I only have 1.25 G memory so I can't do Win 7 the Apple tech tells me. I cannot
find a place on the MS web site to get a replacement copy of XP. Apparently, my copy is now defective for some reason. Any ideas? Thanks. Bruce M.Remember - This is a public forum so never post private information such as email or phone numbers!

Programs you are having problems with Error messages Recent changes you made to your computer What you have already tried to fix the problem

==============================
If your version of XP is still available...the
following info may be useful:
If you have an OEM copy of XP...you may have
to deal with your computer's manufacturer.
If you have a retail (boxed) copy of XP...have
a look at the following article:
