Settle down. :rolleyes:

Perhaps in your original post you should have stated that you lost your original disk, in which case couldn't you contact Microsoft?

Well you probably still aren't allowed to copy it if it's an OEM copy of Windows, (unless you live in the UK or another country with sensible consumer laws.)

How about following the forum rules and not asking for help avoiding software copyrights? If you have an OEM copy of Windows from your PC, you aren't supposed to use it on another machine. If you have a retail copy, I'm assuming you'll be uninstalling it from its current location to use in Parallels. Otherwise you're violating all kinds of rules. Macrumors can't condone that kind of request on its forums, in case it's held liable.

End of story.

Well, your question may have been simple but that doesn't make it ethical. Rest assured that no links to a site will be allowed by the mods. If it's so important to you, I'm sure a Google search will turn something up. There're plenty of people out there who share XP on torrents, etc. I imagine.

Nobody accused you of stealing, nor did anyone say they are reporting you. People were simply pointing out that downloading a copy of XP, regardless of wether you have a serial number or not, is piracy.

Sorry, but you'll have to contact Microsoft for a replacement disk. It's against the rules to talk about how to pirate software. Even if you have a legitimate licence, you'd be downloading pirated software.
