Windows XP needed

[sparky b]

Hi all,

As title suggests, I need a copy of Windoze VISTA as my disc is corrupt (just like Bill Gates )

Don't worry, I do have a valid product key and will be happy to cover any postage costs or make a donation to the Forum.....

@ Canoeboy Yes. I also do have a Mac.....

@ Steps Yes, I do run Ubuntu (on another machine)......

:Neil

Thanks,

B.

Good question Sidey..... I'd imagine OEM as it came with the machine, I'll nip out to the workshop and check in a mo......

 

[Sidewinder]

I have an upgrade disk & I "think" a "full retail".

 

[sparky b]

Just checked, the product key label states Windows VISTA home premium.... :red card :coat :Blushing

So many machines, so many versions!!!!!!

Thanks for the offer SW :Salute

Anyone got a copy of Vista, same terms and conditions apply.... :slap

 

[Sidewinder]

Sorry, no Vista!

From what I know a Vista key will work on XP

Why not try Unbutu,,, I'm thinking of putting it on an old desktop and using it as a media centre using XMBC and a XMBC app on my iPad to control it

My other machines already running Ubuntu, but this machine will be going to my nephew and has windows 7 upgrade disc with it.....

On a side note though, I have just successfully managed to root my Galaxy S and SII and installed the lastest DarkyRoms on them. Both phones are now faster than any standard android phone out there!!

have you looked for a copy of xp on ebay :coat

 

[steptoe]

I have a standard vista disc, odunno if its premium or not?

I also have seven if you have a key.

 

[sparky b]

So you need a vista disk to do an upgrade to Severn ?

Yes mate, that's it!

I have a '7' key, but it's an upgrade one...will it work??? Likewise with Vista, will my key be compatible with any version??

 

[Badger]

i thought each key was linked to each disk

 

[Sidewinder]

No mate, just disk "types".

 

[steptoe]

Very much doubt that, not likely,

Dunno if an upgrade is the same, I could do you both if you want them, do you need XP or just vista?

Im very unlikely to use them. : slap

 

[sparky b]

I'll take the Vista disc please Steps...don't spose you have the product key for it too - in case mine's not compatible... :innocent

 

[Sidewinder]

sparky,

That would not be OK mate you should know that!

I'm sure Steps will PM you on the disk availability though!

I know mate, I meant if Steps was no longer using his as he's switched to Ubuntu..... (or it that what you originally thought!!)

 

[steptoe]

I wouldnt know canoe.

As you know sparky, it would be illegal of me to pass ownership of an M$ product onwards,

That would be the key, the discs are imho available in the public domain.

To comply with Admins T&C s of the forum I have to inform you the product key is not available,

PM me and I'll bell you.

 

[sparky b]

Wow, Mr Gates is very protective!!!!! I'll pm you...

*scoob'd*
