    If you lost the disk - and it was registered with Microsoft - you can probaby get a replacement disk.

    ... was it registered to you?

    You can get the software disc off the internet all you need is the cd-key
    If you have that do on a bit turent site and download it
    The one problem is that it might not recodnize your cd key as a valid one

    By backup cd you mean the windows xp cd that you can use to start from a fresh version of windows right?

    Getting an illegal software key from a bit torrent site will upset your PC.Plus you won't know what hidden "code" is in the download.Dont do it please.
