Windows XP Media Center Edition-.Dell OEM iso.this is an OEM Dell disk. You can try to install on another type of box but i did not have any luck! SO don't bitch if you do and it does not work!
If it does work on a non-Dell more power to ya and let me know you did it! Extract the files with 7zip you can get it here: 2. Burn the MEDIACTR iso to a blank DVD with ImgBurn you can get THAT here: save the Activator for later. IF.that is IF asked for a Key during installation use the one supplied inside this torrent!!!!DO NOT activate online!!!! Now you can do one of two things: a: skip this step and use the activator from the desktop. B: and i recommend trying this first, open the activation window and select 'activate windows by phone'.
Windows will generate an installation id. Call 888-571-2048 (u.s.) and when the automated system asks 'how many computers has this been installed on' SAY ONE!!! Sometimes this works, sometimes it doesn't.
If it doesn't work, and you are so inclined, you can speak to a human and 'embellish' a little. I have had lots of luck with that.but thats me!
If you chose to skip step 4 OR if you were unsucessful at fooling Big Billy Gates' peeps, disable any anti-virus program and run the x86 Activator from you desktop. Follow the instructions, and happy computing! Always keep windows up to date.some AV programs i.e. Norton will register false positives on the activator.
(norton will actually delete it!) i have scanned with Kaspersky and this torrent is CLEAN! Don't come at me with comments that this is a virus! I am trying to contribute to the community, not harm it.

Hi, So about 6 months ago i bought a Media center PC from HP. I know, big mistake. Well i recently upgraded the pc and basically only kept the cpu and hard drive. The problem i am having is that HP doesnt ship with the OS on a disk, only a recovery partition. Since i upgraded most everything this recovery partition is basically useless. I have a totally legit cd key to windows media center 2005 but i cannot find a good copy on the net(bit torrent.
I just need the cds because i have my own ability to activate seeing as how i technically have a license. If Would someone be so kind to make some isos out of the cds and send them to me. Maybe over msn?

Extremely good torrent site, what you will want to do is check the comments and such from the users to determine if its a good copy, most are in ISO image format, therefore you may want to use Active ISO Burner (its what I use, free, simple, works perfectly), or MagicISO witch costs money. If you have any questions or concerns contact me at [email protected], I am an IT Technician, about to get 2 certifications. If you are having any issues at all feel free to contact me at any time, i check this email every day so I will be able to answer your question, I have been down this path millions of times, especially for work.I do not endorse using torrents or downloading copyrighted material from the internet (blahblahblah) and no I do not repair computers by installing torrented software on them. Well I do't want to ramble so ima be on my way. Good Luck with getting your computer back up and running smoothly! Let me know how it turns out! OEM and Retail licenses/keys are not interchangeable (ie.
A retail key will not work with an OEM disk and vice versa). Different OEM's keys are not even interchangeable, it's ridiculous, thanks again Microsoft! The money that you give for a Microsoft operating system is for the license/key and not for the disk/media. It is legal for me to give you my Microsoft XP Pro, Media Center, home etc. Disk, it is not legal for me to provide you with my license/key. The license to use their operating system is what you are paying for.
All this guy is asking for is somebody else that has the HP or Compaq OEM 2005 Windows XP Media Center disk, to hook him up with a copy since he has ALREADY PAID MICROSOFT for the license and has it in his possession. If somebody can hook him up with an HP or Compaq OEM disk, it will work.
The drivers are not going to be an issue if it came from a different model because they are not necessarily going to load from the XP install disk. That is only going to be an issue with the recovery disks (if you were using recovery disks from a different model it would load the wrong drivers).
You will still probably end up downloading drivers for that model from HP. Air force satcom program reviews. The OEM Media Center disks will install on non-OEM PC's without any problems (as long as you have the correct key).

OP, all you can really do in this situation is to contact DELL support, give them the service tag no, and all details pertaining to the original owner of the machine. They will then sell you the recovery media. However if you do not know the ORIGINAL owners details, then suffice to say its a case of sorry cant/wont help. Volume serial number editor crack 1.
M$ won't do anything about it either, as its OEM, rather than retail. Chances are you may have to go the w7 route, or install linux.
I know this stinks, but it's the only legal way round. @Dan - you may of seen it happen mate, but that is still against the forum rules on TN as you know.
Reply by jc364 on December 5, 2011 @jcasetnl Sorry, just saw your reply. Your sarcasm is noted. When I wrote the review, I was frustrated that I couldn't just download Media Center by itself. I was also frustrated by MS excluding XP support from its products for the sole purpose of pushing people to the new OS. However, it's unimportant. This review was almost 2 years ago, and people should definitely be looking for something else by now, even if it's not Windows.

Windows 7 is great, but people should go with Ubuntu if the upgrade is cost-prohibitive; desktop Linux has come a long ways, and the upgrades are free. Also, I know it seems silly to expect that links to 'XP Media Center Edition' point to XP Media Center Edition and not something else. Maybe it's CNET's problem, and they just need to take down this faulty download listing.
