Hello,

Recently my harddrive containing the main windows folder I386 crashed. I am attempting to put another hard drive into the computer, and install windows XP home edition fresh. I have the product key on the side of my computer, it is legal. Now given that I do not have the I386 folder, where can I download an installation disk for windows XP?

Also, the laptop I am on now also has Windows XP home edition installed. It has a working I386 folder. Can I burn this I386 folder to a cd, and then use this CD to install windows XP onto my other computer? I have two working keys for windows XP, one for my laptop, and one for my desktop.

THANK YOU

So you are saying that file Windows XP Service Pack3.exe is the install file for windows? I thought it was just the service pack.

Using that file and a valid license key, will I be able to install a full, new copy of Windows XP home edition on a new computer? Thank you!
