Re: Looking for Win2000 Pro CD (I have a key, but no CD)

Jason,

You can only get replacement CD's from Microsoft if you can prove receipt,
which from your post you cannot do

If you have a COA (not just serial) & the law in your country doesn't
prohibit it then ask someone you know who has Windows 2000 to do you a copy.
Another way is to purchase one on ebay, but you'll paying a lot of money for
an OEM with COA & increasingly more if you can find a retail version. Never
buy off anyone less than 100% though who has many sales to his/her name.

I wrote a key viewer/changer application which until recently was on the
GotDotNet website. That was 100% virus/adware/malware & spyware free. So,
not all application like that contain 'Scumware' as you put it

Where can I find a legitimate version of Windows 2000 Pro?
It is possible to order a Windows 2000 CD from Microsoft?

I have a legitimate key with my computer; I don't have the CD. I am
unsure
which SP the key is for (I've been told it will work only for a CD with
the
right SP).

I don't want to use a cracked version of Windows 2000 and/or use a key
changer program. They notoriously infested with viruses, spyware, and
scumware...

Thanks,
