Do you have a working serial number for XP, that is your own?

If so, you could (legally) download an ISO for XP, burn the ISO image to CD and use that - so long as you use your own serial number.

After an hr to download the 'image' I now need more downloads to open this. This cant be right can it ?

Does the file end in .iso?
You don't open the file.
Use IMGBURN to burn the .iso file to CD.

An ISO file can be burnt to CD using most/all CD recording software.
