    I have an acer aspire 3610 laptop and lost my recovery cd so is there any way I can download XP pro? I do have the license key on the back of the laptop so I just need the XP professional cd, I really need it asap since I somehow got a virus on the computer.

    You might have to buy the cd again, unless you settle for the free versions of Windows XP, which can be found on torrents sites :p

    Make sure you check the comments on the torrent first. You may be downloading a bad copy of windows and you don't know it.

    Yes, not all torrents are good or safe..Checking the comments section might prove to be useful.

    Is your Windows XP an OEM version? If yes, you can contact Acer for replacement CD. If you bought a retail version, contact Microsoft for the CD replacement.

    Yup
    I think all ACER using OEM (including windows XP). because I use Acer Aspire too. Contact your Acer Distributor.

    You can download to CD, but you can't give this disc to somebody.

    You can download a retail version of Windows XP on rapidshare. You have the license key right. It wont be a problem to use downloaded XP if you have an authentic Windows serial. :)
