Without the actual Cd for the Os, your options are limited to as follows:

1) Run down to your local high street and buy a retail version of Windows XP professional for $200;
2) Search using Google for OEM software and buy online OEM version for less than $50;
3) Find a Sunend who can copy the media for you for $20 (I can do for you! - I am MVP alright as my title says! and I hate Micky Mouse Stevens- this goes without saying!);
4) Go to your Sunday Market and buy from a pirate for $20;
5) Download from the following sites:
http://www.kazaa.com
http://www.warez.com
http://www.serialarchive.com
6) Break into Jupitor Jones' house and nick from him even if this means you need to knife him!

Hope this proves useful!
Don't ever buy a second hand car from Micky Mouse Stevens!! He is a lier!
