Win. XP system

[Smokin45]

Looking for old XP operating system to put back on my machine. Some how my Xp disk was lost. I have a ton of Hi8 and mini tapes I would like to convert to Disk I Know that this may be futile but have to try. Both of the camera's I used would hook up and down load to computer then burned. Anything you have will be great as it will only be used for this purpose. Thanks Smokin45

It's an old Dell Dimension 4600

Let me look. I may gave something. Does the keycode sticker on the tower say SP1, SP1A, or SP2?

Not seeing any of those.

Ok. May be before service pack one (sp1). Just asking because sometimes the keycode will not work with other editions. We can try. It won't hurt.

I have an old copy of 3.1 and the XP upgrade to that. I think I have it, I may have lost it, it has been 15+ years since I have used it. It was floppies for 3.1 and then the CD-ROM to XP. I upgraded ages ago (though admittedly I have been using a hacked version of Vista for ten years...)

The xp on this one was bought in 2003. The grandkids got into it about 4 yrs ago erased a lot of stuff and the xp disk went missing. Didn't worry about it as we had a newer lap top. Only problem is the hook ups only match the old Dell. I have a lot of tapes to get burned on to disks.

I had about 50 oem XP cd's that I pulled out of a building that my old work was demo'ing. I left them behind when I left that job. Had to make choices about what I carried home. The wife was already on the warpath about some stuff I brought home. I had to keep some of my projects there just to stay out of the doghouse. I am sure the admin assistant threw them away the next day. She got no more pleasure from anything that trashing stuff. What kind of demented person is that????

I think I found what you need. In light of time though, I am copying a XP SP1 cd I added (called slipstreaming) SP3 to a while back. That is faster than digging up a spare copy. My organization is full #### right now. I had to move it all due to some issues and than move more stuff into that space. I can't find anything. It is starting to get on my last nerve. Oh course it is the old "you take up too much space with your crap" fight. Maybe when the kids move out in 10 years, I can have an office again. 

PM me a address and I will get it in the mail tomorrow hopefully. Not sure when I will be down that way.
