Hey all! I have a computer that has Windows Media Center Edition on it. It crashed last week and I don't have a CD or DVD to repair or reinstall. I got the computer from Dell a few years ago. I do have a Windows Key so I'm not worried about that. What I would like to know is which Windows Media Center Edition should I get? I've been looking for torrents but there are so many. Here is a list of a few that I have come across: Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 windows Xp media center edition 2005 Sp2 Bootable Dvd windows XP mediacenter LIVE edition Microsoft windows XP media center edition with SP3 OEM MSDN Microsoft windows XP Pro media center edition 2005 Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 + SP3 I don't know which one to download. I just want to be sure that my Windows Key will work for the one that I download. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a bunch!!
When I went to download the first one there are two ISO files. I think the operating system is on two CDs. I've never seen an operating system on 2 CDs. Do you think that it is legit?
Could be a add on cd custom files I would look for a original one if I were you better yest download windows 7 it has media center plus a great OS in it
I would check my user manual or dell website for any info to see if the comp has a recovery partition which it should as all OEM manufacturers provide one from as early as 2002 onwards which is why you have no disks but a key on the rear of the comp,perhaps on reboot you could try F1,F2,F10 tho those are for hp's to access the recovery console waste of time installing windows 7 just to have to uninstall it when the beta time frame runs out
I have windows media center edition on my desktop. It came with 3 cd's. The first two said windows XP and the third one says Media Center Edition 2005.
