Unfortunately this is not an option. I bought my PC "white-box" style a year or so ago and as such can't get an OEM copy relating to my purchase. I have a legitimate licensed copy of Windows XP (no Service pack) that I cannot use on my current system because it doesn't recognise an HDD over 130 ish GB (my primary drive is a 250GB unit that I had partitioned via a friend's machine to create a primary partition under the 130ish limit which I could then install XP no sp on and upgrade via the SP2 CD I got from MS directly. I now wish to run the HDD as a single partition drive). The license I obtained from Uni via the arrangement that the Govt had with MS but the copy of the media has developed a flaw and vital files are corrupted.
Well then, your situation changes completely here. You have a license which is unrelated to your media. Why don't you rephrase your question as "Can someone please give me an academic media for Windows XP with SP3 so I can use my license key with it?"
This is the way Windows works with large scale deployments, such as volume and MSDN licenses - you get sent a media kit (possibly at a small cost), with neatly pressed CDs, but you can go to Microsoft's web site and download the ISOs whenever you want. The bit you pay for is the license (the proverbial piece of paper, the practical 25 character key) and associated rights.
I'm sure someone on this list will have got a license key from Waikato's involvement in the academic scheme. Ask them to give you a copy of their media. Hell, you could probably even download the correct media off BitTorrent or Usenet or something. You have a license key that someone has paid for, you don't need to spend any more money here.
