please give me some more details so I can find it for sure

that's  what I use - an old OEM version of XP SP2 that came with my
first Centrino laptop. The authorization code never worked on the
original PC so Microsoft sent me a new code. But on my Macbook the
original OEM authorization works and I run it inside a Bootcamp
partition. Costed me no extra money to set up.

Is there a particular version of XP I should hunt for, is SP2 a recommended version

If I can get WIndows / for free or very cheap, any reason not to get that?
