Need OS for laptop

[Fierce Critter]

Posted about this before, but I think my source for a copy of XP fell through.

I have a laptop that had a legit copy of XP Pro installed. In readying it for sale to someone else, I attempted a re-install of XP with a disk that ended up corrupted. So now I have NO OS installed at all.

Does anyone have a copy of any OS I could install on this thing just so I can show prospective buyers that it does, in fact, work? XP would be nice, but at this point, I'd take ME, 2000, hell - even 98 if I have to.

I can pay you to mail me a disk. Thanks.

I'm tellin ya FreeBSD, it's what the apple OS is based off of and it will at the very least show that it works.

I appreciate that, SG. If I can't get a copy of Windows, I'll fall back on that.

But I'm thinking the version of XP I've got here that I thought was "corrupted" is actually an UPGRADE. So if I can get a copy of an older Windows OS, I might be able to use this disk to upgrade it back to what it had originally.

I have a prospective buyer, but they need to know XP will work on it. It did for the 3 years I've had the laptop, but I understand they're wanting to be sure about what they're buying.

Go to bearshare.com download bearshare and search for a copy of XP, they're all over the place but only useful to ya if you've got broadband. If you've got dialup then maybe I could mail you a CD.
