Um, excuse me, but you're starting to sound a lot like Carey Frisch here. A generic OEM CD will work for this. Costs considerably less, too.

Anyone have experience with HP Model XT963. I may need to replace the MB in this box and the re-install is on a seperate partion. i.e. no XP CD.

Will a repair install work with a new MB and processor. I'd rather not have to reload/rebuild this and I'll spend the effort tracking down the same MB if need be. Well I can try anyway, these were sold by Wal-Mart and there should be some parts around.

TIA Chris
