recently,my computer can't be booted.

so , i asked two colleagues to lend their Microsoft window 2000. However ,they said they don't want to , coz they registerd with Microsoft 's website. if i use the disk again , they my colleagues register details (e.g. address) will be incorrect. this is something to do with copyright.

i asked the computer shops, they said one window disc is 100 pounds!. my dear God. where can i get so much money?

do u have any good idea?

thanks a lot

you can donwload from website.

www.verycd.com

or, pay 5 RMB to get a disc from China

worse comes to worst, just buy one from ebay for under £20
that £100 quote is ridiculous

thanks everybody.

my computer is window 2000, so I still want to get window 2000.

They said window xp is not good.

100 pounds / disk is real price. just like books , in china, is 1 pound, here, 30 pounds.

Are you serious, 100pounds for WinXp Pro? I am in South Africa it cost something like R700 which is about 50pounds.
Things must be really expensive up there...

I think there is a lot of illegal underground site in China provide Win2000 for download (You really have to have a real connection speed thou, because it take more than 300M?)

Also, you can try Overnet at www.overnet.com the P2P search engine basically got everything i want, and proboboly what you want as well
