i'm trying to fix my friends laptop at the moment, to put it bluntly a virus
has done more damage than a hammer, the only way of fixing it that i can
think of(and i've tried many things) is a complete re-install of home, he has
the serial, but his comp was shipped from the US with no cd, so i am in
desperate need of either a trial version, which can be activated with serial,
of an cd image i can burn. also i cant email microsoft as i dont have the
PIN, because i cant even start windows!!!!
please help, would be much appreciated.

W/O the xp cd youre limited,however you can tap the F8 key at start up,
select,safe-mode,or try,start in last good configuration.
 
tried that, tried safe mode-no help, in the end i've finally managed to
format his hard drive (and this took some doing!!), but am just in need of an
xp home edition disc???
