OEM Windows Server 2003

Guys I am in the need of some assistance. I have a client that has a server
that was so fouled that it needed a format and reinstall the problem is that
my copy of Server 2003 standard 5 client has a huge ass scratch in it and I
am unable to use. Now here is where it gets bad I talked to the OEM and
they are unable to provide me with a replacement disk and when I go back to
Microsoft I am told to go back to the hardware vendor. I have the COA
sticker on the server itself I just need the media to install from I have
tried every version that I have from my subscription but the OEM key will
not allow installation anyone know where I can get a copy or give me any
ideas on how I can go about this preferably without having to buy another
retail copy of the OS...

Thanks All

Hello John,

For OEM the hardware vendor is responsible. They have to provide you the
disk. What kind of hardware vendor is it?

Best regards

That's what I thought too but the vender is telling me that they don't have
access to it and are unable to provide the vendor is a system
builder...Premio
