need windows 2007 asap !

Why would the OP need to buy new copies?

If the PC originally had this software installed and licensed then its ridiculous to suggest that they go and buy a new copy.

Where2start does your PC have the stickers on it with the key for XP and another one for Office 2007?

yes but that doesn't really solve the " I need it ASAP / I'm being yelled at / I loaned all my original disks to someone who is out of the country for 3 weeks" aspect of the OPs problem :rolleyes:

Do you have a COA sticker attached to your PC and if so, to which version of XP does it pertain?

Go to microsoft website and download the trial. that will give you at least some time to get it sorted

So, is XP working now? Why haven't you followed sco0ter's advice?
