Default Damage Disc

first question is - is the disk an MS one? or a recovery CD?
Second question - is it a Retail copy or and OEM one (with 'for installation
on a new PC' on the back)?
Third question - do you still have the original disk?

If the answers to the above are MS/Retail/yes - then you may be able to
sweet-talk MS into providing a new disk. - look here
http://support.microsoft.com/default...5Bln%5D;326246
(NZ should have a similar page for their local numbers)

If the answers are anything else, then it's possibly best to go back to the
supplier/manufacturer of the machine.

You can still buy copies of ME on eBay (but CAVEAT EMPTOR applies in full!)

Note also that the full installation fileset is normally on the hard drive -
and can be copied to CD and used as an installation CD.
(look in the C:\Windows\Options folder, usually)
