Windows XP Media Center

I purchased a Toshiba Laptop with Windows XP Media Center OS however, I was not provided with a program disks. My laptop crashed and I had to take it back to the retail shop for reinstall of the OS after paying a service fee.
I have the COA is there any way I can purchase at a discounted price Windows XP pro? I believe Microsoft will no longer support Windows XP Media Center.
Thanks
Vic

Couple thoughts.....
You can make a backup image with nortan ghost of your current hard drive. then when it crashes again you can restore the base image. There are also free versions out there that do the same thing. You will just need to find them. Or if you have a friend you can barrow their copy of XP media center...
My girlfriend had a similar experience, I had to um get a copy a fishy way...

But the problem is that you already own one... and that really sucks... http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16832116515
if you want to buy it...
