Welcome to the forum!

Your location?

W2K or XP?

Define "urgent". I can burn you a set, but won't be home before the weekend...

Location = united kingdom
Os = xp (pro?)

How much will it cost?

And would you consider doing a iso to avoid postage costs?

OK I don't have that yet! Anything you could do for $5?

If not I'll have the money in a week or 2!

Hey,
I've just found a tool by microsoft which changed my retail xp pro to IBM OEM xp pro!

so I don't need the disks anymore (sorry)

if you have the same problem as me download the software from: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId= ... lcid=0x409

Thanks for your offer though!
