XP Pro ISO

[zaoka]

Is there a way to download ISO of:

Windows XP Professional OEM
32bit, SP3

From Microsoft or somewhere...


My disk is so scratched that it wont install anymore...

Other than that, buy one and image the disk.

I can help but I don't get back to my workshop for another 12 hours or so. PM me if you have no luck by then.

You can find ISOs of just about any OS/version on any of the common torrent sites.

And many come with malware and trojans pre-installed, so you can charge your clients for virus removals later!

Don't even think about downloading it on torrents sites.. if you can use latest os versions then better.. MS already stopped supporting xp.

Not to mention that there is a rule in place here on TN:

Forum Rules (top of every single page)
No Links to Pirate Material or Assisting with Its Use
Such as illegal torrents, copyrighted software ISOs, CD Keys or means to hack into software and/or hardware. No assisting on the forums with information to obtain or make use of pirate material.

Since some of the folks in this thread are new (or come around so rarely), they might not have read the rules here lately.

hi

I never download stuff from torrents because its often full of malware.

Out of interest, I needed to pull together a quick install of XP home yesterday.

I got the ISO from technet, but they no longer supply the serials for XP. Even for quickies/testing.

If it's just for testing and less than 30 days, you can skip the screen where it asks you to input the licence key.

MS has the 64 bit trial available here http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=33656 but I don't see the 32 bit version.

On XP Home yes. On the Pro installs I've done it won't.

It used to be legally hosted on Digitalriver, but I can't find it anymore.

Alternatively, a disk scratch repair may work. They can be found in some local stores. They polish the disk to remove some of the outer layer of plastic. But some very badly damaged disks don't work with this polishing method.

I've shared it privately with the OP. If anyone else gets stuck just give me a shout.

I know it's a bit late but now, but you should make iso's of all your disks for backup.

Indeed! I have over 300GB of ISO files for recovery discs, Office, Works, Windows and more.
Need to back that up actually!

I think this weekend I'm gonna make that a project. Been working off discs for too long.

I keep ISO's of all my good stuff. Then I just burn them to CD or DVD RW discs to tote around.

So really, my ISO's are my standards, and the discs are just the portable versions.
