Simple answer, you cannot. Unless you want to obtain an illegal copy over the Internet. The CD is licensed. You may be able to call HP and order a replacement disk but it will cost you. Or you can simply buy an upgrade from Microsoft and request a disk.

Licenses & Certifications: Microsoft, Cisco, VMware, Novell, FCC RF & Amateur Radio licensed.
