    Hi,

    I have a laptop with XP Pro that i would like to wipe and reinstall. Unfortunately i cannot find XP media to do a resintall.

    Anybody know where somebody with a licence for XP can legimately download the XP media?

    Presumably i can resuse my existing licence key. How can i find out what the existing licence key is?

    Your existing licence key should be on a sticker underneath the lappy.
