John -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Ajoy Khaund Sent: Wednesday, May 23, 2012 1:04 PM Kurt you are right. The WinXp CD which I have is original. I had no problem for the last 8 years. I must have used it three times or so. My cd drive is about 12 years old so that must have spoilt the CD with use. If I had a pirated XP CD I would not have asked in this forum of which I have been a member for quite a no. of years. Anyway no hard feelings I hope.
