I think you'll find it's a CD. The only place I know of that you can get
Windows by download is MSDN......

Windows XP Pro SP3 Full Version for $39.99
http://www.shoppalstores.com/softwareiq/index.cfm/fa/items.main/parentcat/29815/subcatid/0/id/412076

Oh the price went up I see. It is $44.99 now. I never used them so I
don't know about this place. It is the cheapest I could find with a
search engine.

And this requires XP and can't be done under a free Windows 7 disc?

Not legally, no.

Is this a legitimate, bought XP license? Do you still have the product
key for it?

When you buy a copy, what you are essentially buying is the license to
use it, and it's the product key that uniquely identifies that
license. So if you have the key, you can borrow and copy a friend's
CD, as long as it matches your key with respect to the following:
whether they are Professional, Home, Media Center; whether they are
OEM or retail; whether they are Full or Upgrade. If it doesn't match
in any of those respects your key won't work with it.

If you have neither a CD nor a key, you're out of luck entirely and
need to buy a new one.

The Newegg download is by the United States Postal Service directly to your
mailbox, not via your ISP to your Windowsbox.
