Windows XP download in DELL website

Where can I download a copy of XP?  I have the codes for the XP that was loaded on the desktop.

Also, where can I find the instructions to transfer/copy from old hard drive to a new hard drive using the same platform.

Thanks!

    You cannot download windows xp. If you are the original owner and live in the US you can request a replacement set of disks including the windows disk here: support.dell.com/.../backupcd_form

    The hard drive manufacturer has software that lets you clone the contents of an old hard drive to the new hard drive you just bought.

    You will need a USB to IDE/SATA cable.

    There are many utilities for cloning one drive to another.

    Otherwise, you can borrow a friend's Dell XP disk or purchase one on eBay.
