I think the bit torrent way (or a copy from a friend) is the only way Wayne will get a copy he can slip-stream, and at the end of the day its not theft as the product is payed for, he has an OEM licence.
On another point, I've downloaded it and burnt it to a CD as I've got several PC's to install it on (why family members have to have a PC they can't run themselves I just don't know!) and its working o.k. on mine. Had to update Nero as there's apparently a problem with my old version but that went o.k. so its looking up.
Also Dave your copy of XP is it a Dell operating CD? If so it may not be BIOS locked as mine has worked on a couple of PC's that like Wayne's didn't have a proper CD but weren't Dells
