reinstalling without disks

[KeithZ]

I have a pc that I need to re-format and re-install. It currently has Office
XP Pro w/FrontPage installed and I have the key for it. However, I do not
have the original disks that match Office w/FrontPage. Since I have the key,
is there any way to install and authenticate even though I do not have the
disks?

If yours is a home use program from your employer, ask your employer for the
disk.

Otherwise, that suite was one of the most pirated editions leaked to the
web. If that is how you acquired it, we don't help pirates.
