Microsoft has ended support for Windows XP and it is no longer available for download, if it ever was.

Your best bet is to see if eBay has any for sale.

What happened to your original Genuine Microsoft Windows XP CD?

Hi,
My name is Abhi and I work for Social media and Community at Dell.
I just went through your query and MarkFlax is absolutely correct. Microsoft has stopped supporting XP media center edition 2005.
What best I can suggest you would be, if you have misplaced or lost your original CD and the system came with XP media center edition 2005. You can get in touch with the Dell sales team and check with them if the XP media center edition CD is available and the part # would be GR343.

You can get in touch with the sales team at
