Lost XP pro install CD

[misterPK]

Exactly 4 years ago my parents bought a computer from the now deceased Evesham Technology. I'd now like to reformat it, but they've helpfully lost the recovery disc that came with it.

It's still got the Evesham branded OEM COA stuck on the case, so will that license key work with a different OEM xp pro install disc or does it have to be an Evesham recovery disc as it's a branded OEM COA?

Thanks for your help,

PK!

Will different service pack releases make a difference? ie can I use a SP3 install disc with this old key? (circa April 05)

Cheers,
PK!

Fantastic, saves me taking up archaeology to find a replacement disc. Thanks for the help guys, much appreciated.
