    I need to buy a full version of XP, either home or pro. , I’ve lost my old cd and being a Student I’m looking for the cheapest I can get. Any suggestions are appreciated.

    yes but you need to spend on other items to get it for that low price ! you can't just buy Win XP OEM on its own

    If your previous key/license was legit. you just need a copy of the CD from someone...
    If you're a college "Student" - check with the college as they may be able to supply a copy.

    once you have your own cd key its legal to use another copy. you can retrieve the cd key if you don't have it written down anywhere. google for a key finder or retreiver or some such thing to get it. i got one before but i can't remember where tbh. there's loads available
