How to Download Windows XP to Disk
While you might assume that you should contact your computer manufacturer for a replacement copy if you lose your original Windows XP disk, that is not necessary. You can download a copy of Windows XP directly from Microsoft. This will be a fully functional copy so long as you have a valid product ID key. The download and setup process for your Windows XP disks (note: the only method Microsoft approves of is floppy disk installation) should take 20 to 30 minutes.
