what if the reason I'm trying to erase XP Pro (borrowed version) in my computer is
that I need to re-install windows because after my last automatic update from microsoft
both of my optical drives stopped working. After thoroughly testing these drives
in another computer I found out that there is nothing wrong with them. So even if
I have copy of windows 98 I am screwed as both of my optical drives are not working.
Any suggestions? I'm screwed aren't I.
