Hello everyone

I realise this is off topic for a Linux group, however also know there's 
some knowledgeable people here!

I've got an AMD Athlon XP computer which had a hard drive failure about 
18 months ago.  It was my main machine until then.

I replaced the hard drive with two others, and fiddled a bit but have 
never really used it.  Now I want to upgrade the memory and install 
WinXP on it, however I see this is not quite as simple as I'd thought, 
because my disk is 2002 and doesn't include any service packs.  I've 
been reading about slip streaming, and probably could manage it, but 
wonder if anyone has a disk they can lend?  I do have an activation key 
for my disk, but it's attached to the computer.  Any suggestions 
appreciated.

Many thanks
Rose
