    CD Media Cracked (literally) for XP SP2 - Microsoft Cannot Replace - Please Help!

    Hi, I hope someone can assist me.

    I am an Action Pack subscriber.  However the CD media of Windows XP Professional - Includes Service Pack 2 has literally cracked.  (It has the orange bars on top with Microsoft / Partner Program written - Part No. X11-52768 EN) and is unusable in any CD Drive.  I both called and emailed the MAPS team for a replacment but they have told me that since Vista that it is no longer available.  Sadly most of my organizations  PCs aren't up to spec and we have a client/server proprietery software developed in XP which for Vista and not ready for prime time.

    Anyway I need to do a reinstall of XP SP2 as a licensed action pack subscriber however do not have the media.  If anyone can possibly assist by providing me a backup copy of the media I will be grateful.  I would certainly pay for materials and shipping to my location (McMurray PA- just outside of Pittsburgh).  Please note: I am not doing anything illegal, rather I have a legit subscription (can provide copies of my subscription document and emails plus digital pictures of cracked media) but looking for help because Microsoft Action Pack Team says they have no more XP SP2 media for replacement.

    Much thanks in advance,
    Glenn

    The media I have is:

    XP PRO...X10-65499-EN

    XP (does not say PRO) SP2 with Adv Secu Tech X10-88891-EN

    If these will work, I will burn you a copy.

    Also, I need copies of disks X10-66190-EN and X10-66736-EN...both MS Small Business Server 2003 Prem (2 disk set from the Action Pack)...Just like you, I have the license sleeve, and license, but my old IT guy misplaced the disks during a move and I think they got thrown away.  I have to migrate an OS in the next couple of weeks when a new server shows up, and they would be VERY helpful.

     Cheers

    Hey all,

    Hoping someone still had this media X10-65499. It's pre SP2. 'Windows XP Professional Edition'. I have the SP2 disk. I am in the Partner Program as well, mine did not crack, It went in the drive goofy (Technical Term) and spun, causing read errors and a nice ring halfway through the disk. As the first poster posted, I have my credentials, member number, and can supply photo of the cd (both sides to show the nice ring) . I of course have my key, just need the media. Any help would be very appreciated and will pay for shipping and media. Thanks in advance!
