Unable to Install the OEM Version as it has been shattered into small pieces, seems whilst installing my computer decided to eject the CDrom then close it which caused the disc to jam and shatter!! I don't think microsoft will replace it either as it is OEM and they usually tell you to contact the supplier who provided me with the software, I cant return it to my supplier as they have been bankrupt for over 12 months now. Seems like I'm stuck unless I can get a copy of XP Pro SP 1a OEM from somewhere and then use my geniune key. Thanks for the help anyway, if anyone can help in supplying me with a copy (not a licence key) then please contact me.

I have Windows XP PRO installation disc but today it has been damaged whilst completing a clean install. I have a coporate version with no PRODUCT KEY. Is there anyway I can copy the contents of the Coporate Edition Install CD and change it to except my own XP PRO OEM Product Key? My Product key was associated with the XP PRO OEM which included SP1a. I have tried many ways of trying to complete this task with no luck, like changing the SETUPP.ini located on the coporate disk but every time I try to complete a clean install it states Invalid Product Key. Please help and thanks in advance.
