I'd upgrade.  There's more functionality with XP, as well as more stability.  And since you get a student discount, use it.

Some software providers may still have them for sale.\nBut almosy everyone has been selling XP for years.\nWhat happened to yours?\nWhy can't you upgrade to XP?\nIf yours is damaged, you may be able to get a replacement from MS. If it's lost, make a backup copy next time.

I would go with xp home.  It's cheaper than pro and has basically the same features.  All xp pro has on it are a few security features, like better password protection on startup.

If you dont have a legel copy you should really get one. \n\nBut to give u the benefit of the doubt here is a direct link http://download.microsoft.com/download/1/6/5/165b076b-aaa9-443d-84f0-73cf11fdcdf8/WindowsXP-KB835935-SP2-ENU.exe

I got mine from the May 2006 issue of Computer shopper. Call 1 (800) 274-6384. It'll cost you $8.

This depends greatly on what you plan to do with the computer.  The XP Pro install will take up about 3 GB, but XP Pro by default will try to create a 3GB page file, so if you only have a 6GB HD windows will complain right away that you have low disk space.  Of course you can reduce the size of the swap file to correct this.  Office takes up about 500MB if you do the complete install.  So basically you want to have at least 8GB or so if you just plan to use office.  If you plan on doing anything else go bigger.  It's hard to find new hard drives smaller than 40GB any more and you can get them for around $45 so if you need more space I recommend that.\n     It's is also important that with XP you have at least 256MB RAM for decent performance.   512 is recommended.

Check to see if your computer will support running Windows XP Professional. \nRecommended by Microsoft:\n300 MHz CPU *\n128 MB of RAM *\n1.5 GB of available hard disk space *\nSuper VGA (800 x 600) or higher-resolution video adapter with at least 8 MB of video RAM and monitor\nCD-ROM or DVD drive\nNetwork adapter\nSound card and speakers\nKeyboard and Microsoft Mouse or compatible pointing device\n* I recommend a minimum 450MHz CPU, 8GB HDD, 256MB of RAM\n\nthen Purchase an OEM license of Windows XP and replace your current outdated operating system.\nYou can find stores on eBay who sell windows XP OEM version for under $150.

I would run a spyware program like ad-aware (lavasoftusa.com). Go ahead and install XP after that.  Pro can be put into a domain network (like in an office) and home can't.  That is the ONLY difference.  So I would say go Pro if you have it, then you have the flexibility.\n\nYou won't need to find any drivers for XP, I'm sure it will have everyhting you need.

You should be able to make your own with one of the tools in "System tools" or from the maker of your computer, if that's not possible, then you can go to Radio Shack and they should be able to sell you a XP install disk for cheap. and use the code on the back or side of computer case.

No, I did once, and it cost $100 to come out and $100 an hour, no joke. Nothing is that important, cheaper to buy an new hard drive (as I learned MY lesson...)

Your hard drive has little to do with it as long as your hard drive is larger than a few gig.\n\nWhat you need to worry about are the other computer specs. Unless it has 256mb of ram i wouldn't really try using XP on it. I would highly recommend atleast 512mb. The processor speed shouldn't be too much of a factor because i'm assuming (if it came with ME) that the processor is atleast 800mhz.
