Justas Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Hopefully this topic does not go against any of the rules here... But I am asking for any legitimate solutions to this problem.Currently I have an old Windows 98 Disc and an old XP Pro Upgrade CD Key. However at the moment I don't have a XP Pro Upgrade CD. Is there a way to use an XP Pro Upgrade CD Key with a normal XP Pro SP2 CD? Or is there a way to obtain an ISO of the CD through MS or some other site?Any help would be appreciated. As I have said I am not sure if asking this question goes against the rules of these forums, but if they do feel free to lock/delete this topic.Thanks for any help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelsenellenelvian Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 You ok m8. Ummmm let me think I do believe you can use that key with another retail disk.It wouldn't hurt at all to call MS and ask them I have heard of them sending out replacement media (The XP upgrade disk) for 10 bucks...

cluberti Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 I'm pretty sure they'll send you a CD if you fax them a copy of the COA and product key. I could be wrong, but I seem to remember doing this a few years ago in a similar situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justas Posted January 10, 2008 Author Share Posted January 10, 2008 Yea guess I will try the retail disk. I just hate talking to MS...Even having to call them for reactivating after I change out motherboard is annoying. I can just imagine how much fun this could be.Thanks for the replies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
