[ubuntu-uk] Windows XP CD

[James - SJ Computers]

Oh my bad, I just assumed that it was as I'd just downloaded the Win7 32Bit
ISO from Digital River, who Microsoft use for a lot of their big downloads,
to dual boot a Netbook with Ubuntu. (It already had Win7 Starter on, but I
broke it)

If they do it for Win7 can't see an issue with XP. I assume the ISO download
is no longer available as they have discontinued support of XP? They do
provide the XP installation files for floppy, if that's any use to anyone
anymore.

That's not an OS install ISO, it's merely a service pack packaged on
an ISO image.

Cheers,
