Hello, I am repairing a Toshiba Tablet, but do not have a CD for XP Tablet edition in my arsenal. I have done a search on MS Technet and some torrents, but have only been able to find an MSDN copy, which doesn't work with the COA on the laptop.
Anyone have or know where I can find an OEM XP Tablet Edition ISO image?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

With that said......
Is the i386 directory on the machine? If so, then you can create a bootable XP CD to take your OEM key on the COA sticker....

Thanks for the suggestions.
I was hoping I wouldn't have to order anything from Toshiba as this is a rush job and needs to be out my door in 2 days. Also, the Hard drive is a goner and I was lucky to grab the data in its current state.
As far as the COA sticker on the bottom of the laptop...the only thing I can read is the actual Product Key. Everything else as far as versions, etc has been worn off.
Looks like there's not much I can do and may have to resort to installing vanilla XP Pro with the time constraints.
Again, thanks for the tips!

There is one on ebay at the moment. It does have a buy it now option.

>>"It is not illegal to download a copy of an operating system if you own a license."
And you can back up this statement with something from Microsoft?
>>He can download an untouched copy and compare the hash to msdn.
But that's no help as it's not the MSDN version they have the CoA for the Tosh OEM disk will have a different #
But you are right that the Toshiba CD is system specific - if you've the Portege listed then the eBay edition will work if you don't it won't
It is a Toshiba Portege M205-S810
I have already loaded an OEM XP Pro SP3 disc. It took the COA key on the bottom no problem and the activation went fine as well.
Obviously the tablet features are not functioning at the moment, but is it really possible to load the tablet features separately? I don't have much experience with Tablet, so sorry if I sound a bit newb-ish on the topic.
BTW: Toshiba's support site is awful. They don't even list the model under support. I had to manually type in model to find the drivers for it.

Legally, cant really DL them. Call the MFGR and order one, usually only about 20 bux or so....
