XP Home SP2

How could I get a replacement of my Operating System Windows XP Home SP2?

The original is damaged.

Please advise.

Thank you.

Please refrain from posting your question more than once. I replied to your
post already this morning. Here is that reply:

==================\
Is it a retail copy or did it come from an OEM? If it's an OEM you need to
contact them.

If it is a retail copy go to this link:

If it is OEM you need to contact the original supplier of the software, not
Microsoft. If it is a retail purchase CD see here:

Yes Joe, that's the reason I answered it here also and didn't see the
previous post until I got down that far. Unfortunately, people using the
clunky web based interface like the OP is doing, instead of a decent
newsreader like you and I are using, doesn't always find the responses to
their post. Lets see if the OP sees this and asks about a decent
newsreader.

Copy one from a friend, then use your own cd key from the case.

If the OP will do this they need to make sure:

- It's the same version (Home)
- It's the same type (full version or upgrade)
- It's the same distribution (retail or OEM)
