If you need a replacement disk for Windows or MS products and have a valid product key.
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/default.aspxDownload the disk images here and burn them to a CD/DVD. They will install and authenticate as long as you have a valid product key. I've gotten copies of XP Home, XP Pro, XP Pro X64, Various flavors of Vista, Windows 7-all variations, and 8. Use the product key on the sticker on your computer and you're ready to with a clean, fresh reinstall.

I detest Windows H8, though 
And I REALLY REALLY need it after battling with this damn computer for two days now trying to get rid of that stinking Babylon rubbish. My CPU usage is at 100% after going through all the Malwarebytes clean up (which I'm still not certain got everything this time) so now my system files are a damn mess, and I can't find any way to fix it without just booting with a disk to re-write this mess. I'm about really to call the local computer fix it company, but they charge $80 for the first hour, and I can't really even afford eight cents!
The closest thing I could find was XP home edition with service pack 2. Microsoft says that they'd prefer people download the files through their updates to make it service pack 3. The problem is that it's meant for a floppy disk rather than a CD. I have an external floppy drive somewhere in here though I'm not sure I have any blank floppy's anymore, or would it be ok to delete stuff from one and use that? The other thing is that the CD-ROM the computer came with stopped working about a week after the one-year warranty (of course!), so I use an external CD/DVD drive that works like a charm and doesn't get dust creeping into it. How would I make it recognize which CD drive is the one that works? I'm not really understanding what they mean by all of this really since I'm a total dope when it comes to the nuts and bolts of computers.
Here's the link with the explanation I'm not really sure I understand...

"The Windows XP startup disk allows computers without a bootable CD-ROM to perform a new installation of the operating system. The Windows XP startup disk will automatically load the correct drivers to gain access to the CD-ROM drive and start a new installation of Setup."
I'm sure that makes perfect sense to the techies here, but it might as well be Greek to me. 
I just have to get this massive CPU usage down. Even when right after start up and the only thing I have open is task manager to check what the hideous usage amount is EVERY file is running at 100%. 
I even spent nearly the last 24 hours pitching soooooo much crap off this computer that hogs memory yet the CPU usage has been WORSE since I zapped all the creepy Babylon junk Malwarebytes found and then scrubbing up behind it getting rid of strange apps I never added from both IE and Firefox. I also did the thing someone else mentioned in another thread about updating IE to 8 or higher since you can't delete that garbage... I'd forgotten how hideous it is, and it's even worse than I remembered. Nasty thing and ugly as hell... looks like the design was made with a 10 year old in mind.
Things do seem to be starting to crawl along a little faster now. It actually was taking up to 4 or 5 minutes to open one single window in Firefox... a million times slower than dial-up ever could have been. I spent most of mine time hiding in safe mode trying to fix stuff when I'd always been terrified of booting in safe mode before.
What do you mean if my computer boots from cd? Don't they all? I've just never had to use the stand alone CD/DVD widget to install anything since I did all that stuff with various programs, the installation disk for the printer, etc. when the CD drive that's part of the computer still worked. A couple of years ago the $80 an hour techie guy had to come just because I didn't have a boot disk so that he could get my computer to start... it got stuck in an endless loop trying to start, and try as I might nothing I clicked on the black and white screen would stop that endless loop. Took him just a few minutes, but I told him about having to use the external CD/DVD widget to put the boot disk in, and I remember he had to do something to make the computer able to recognize which one to use since I also had that problem with Nero with it wanting to automatically go to the broken one in teh computer, and all it would tell me was that there was no disk in it. I had to have my brother help me with that, but that was a few years ago, and I have no idea what he or the techie guy did about that.
I've been crawling all over that site, and I can't find what you're talking about with being able to download service pack 3. I can't even find XP home edition all by itself. Could you help me out with finding the links to whatever pages these files I need are on? I'm having so much trouble just trying to pretty much ANYTHING to work even marginally normally on here, and now I think I have another malware bugger called Funwebproducts since I discovered the name by accident in looking for info about getting rid of Babyon and then came across a file with that name with nothing in it but followed by "
2)" which I'm quite sure that means that it's a copy, and the real evil is hiding somewhere on the computer still screwing things up. Malwarebytes didn't find anything from that evil thing, and I had to run it several times.
O crap! Now I have another problem!!! Windows has been trying to give me updates, it's been trying since 8pm when I told it to, it's saying it's at 0%, and I can't open anything.... either left or right clicking on teh icon does nothing at all.
AAAAAAAAAGH!
Would installing a fresh CD copy of XP get rid of all this menace? God, what if there's something else as well that nothing is finding! If I were to send an email to someone would these horrible things spread to them??? AVG didn't find anything, and Malwarebytes still didn't find all the evil Babylon files either. There were a bunch of strange add-ons in Firefox that I know I never put there, and they don't even look like normal add-ons. Holy crap, one of them is a thing called Passwordbox - they're trying to steal all my passwords!
OMG, I'm freaking out.
