Computer came with XP Pro in 2004, and I had to change to 2000 pro to
accommodate another software. Now I want my XP back. I have the license key
but no software. How can I reinstall XP Pro having only the license key?
 
Beg, borrow or steal an identical installation disk as to what was originaly
installed on the machine(OEM/Reatail ect) and install useing your key.
 
I can probably do this. I will also try to get a copy from Dell where we
purchased the machine, per Don's direction. Thanks.
 
I would suggest that you contact the manufacturer of your PC

Is there a Recovery partition on the hard drive to reinstall XP from?
