[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1001741, member: 46727"] If you own the license (product code) for a copy of Windows XP Home, then you can borrow the same copy from a friend, burn it, and use your product code to install. That's perfectly legal. But OS X does not work that way. There are no product codes or activation involved. If you bought your Mac at an Apple store, then the disks were included. If they were not, go back to the store and ask for them. As I stated before... there are no legal downloads of XP or OS X that are available except what I mentioned before about being a student and downloading from a university server. Neither Microsoft nor Apple allows their operating systems to be available via download. (Microsoft does allow downloading to special subscribers who have already paid for the licenses.) Regards.
