Hey Timberland
If you have a qualifying Win98/Me/2000 CD to insert, genuine, hologramed ones with a genuine Product Key, you
can perform a clean installation of XP using an upgrade version of XP, as per the following link. Naturally, you will only be installing XP Home, as opposed to XP Professional.

Just read the directions very carefully, twice, if need be. If in doubt, print them out.
Good luck...................
NB In addition, this will also resolve your download problem as well.
