Kenneth,

I never made a copy and I still do have the key. Now I can ask someone
to make me a copy of an XP and send it to me. If anyone does, please
answer in private.

Ok, a quick rundown.

The "Legal Backup issue."  Don't chunk the original.  :P Keep it.  It is
your only proof that the backup is legal.   Best practice is to make the
backup, then store the original.  Only ever use it to make a new backup
if the first one is destroyed.

Second,  The only identifying info is the registration key.  As long as
the CD you borrow is the same as the one that was scratched, you are
good to go as long as you use your registration key.  The registration
key is not bound to a specific CD for XP.  For Vista, I don't know for
sure, but I would guess that the scenerio is similar.  Just make sure
you have the right registration code.
