1172815 2011-01-27 00:11:00 Hey, I have an Acer computer that needs a reinstall and it's running Windows XP Media Center Edition.

Does anyone have an iso of it so I can do the install?

I haven't been able to find one online.

1172816 2011-01-27 00:22:00 Normally the ISO isnt online. Unless its on technet Speedy Gonzales (78)
1172817 2011-01-27 00:27:00 Is there a recovery partition on the Acer with the O/S on it? Have you made recovery CDs? Snorkbox (15764)
1172818 2011-01-27 00:32:00 The acer does not have a recovery partition (strange, I know). Recovery CDs were not made. Cellux (15145)
1172819 2011-01-27 00:35:00 I found genuine ISOs for download in about 20 secs, I can PM you a link if you'd like. Obviously illegally downloading is not condoned, but in this case, if you can't find disks there isn't really any other option. You have the key on the notebook, i presume? wratterus (105)
1172820 2011-01-27 00:38:00 Correct about the key, sticker and everything. I'd appreciate it. Thank you. Cellux (15145)
1172821 2011-01-27 00:40:00 keep in mind XP Media Center Edition has two CD's, unless someone has combined the two, then they are not the genuine ones. wainuitech (129)
1172822 2011-01-27 00:41:00 PM'd. I've double checked the iso sizes against the ones I have here and they are pretty close. Looks legit to me. In under a minute I'm downloading at over 200kb/sec so you should be sorted.

Remember it asks for the wrong disc during installation too, don't let that worry you.

That's the technet sizes etc.

1172823 2011-01-27 00:59:00 You could upgrade to Windows 7 :p pcuser42 (130)

It's not my machine. I suggested it, but the owner was pretty "okay with what they have".

Thank you wratterus.
