Trying to reformat old computer.....

and getting a BSoD. My Windows XP CD has a large crack, so I'm assuming that might be the problem. Would it be possible to exhange it for a new one?

Your best bet would be to ask one of your friends for a disc, There so easy to come by.

I have another disk, myself. So, from I am gathering, w/e disc I use doesn't matter, but only the serial code. Am I right in assuming this?
