I'm always leary of "foreign" downloads -- unless every file IN the ISO is signed and/or the ISO claims to be a copy of one from a known producer and the hash is available on that original producer's web site, somewhere. It's just too easy to doctor an ISO without these validations.
I tried install version 7 and version 8 no go with either one

Meh, I'm not too trusting of those hacked up 'abandonware' ISO's that are so plentiful....most are bloated with malware and other sordid crap. I have one or two XP systems still remaining....for testing purposes only and to run some older programs that don't function correct on anything newer... These systems are not connected to the internet. I have XP on a couple old game rigs....if they get some nasty malware, I can care less...they're expendable... Nuke 'em and reload....but I've not had any issues with them.

It shouldn't be hard to find "genuine media" in a thrift store, friend's junk pile, etc.. I routinely pick up anything "genuine" that I come across as they are usually practically given away (10c/disc). If I discover that it is a duplicate of something that I already have, on hand, then I'm out 10c. <shrug>
Unlike other applications that likely have misplaced any "activation codes" that might be (have been) needed, MS OS discs are so ubiquitous that you can almost always find something that will make it work.

I have plenty of genuine media....except a corporate edition of XP64.....lemme know if you have one. I want to try my keys on it.

I am positive (99.2603%) that I have a copy, here. I recall finding one just about the time I was moving my machines to W7x64 and debated staying with XPx64 as "insurance" that my drivers, apps, etc. would have NO problems migrating.
But, I'm moving my archive to newer hardware so getting access to the ISO will be a chore (I only keep physical media for OSs that I am installing and, thus, NEED as bootable media. everything else gets imaged and stored on spinning rust).

This key works well for xp sp3,despite of brand name.i`ve been using it for a long time.
It should work for any version of xp.however I only use win xp professional.
Don't buy those $10 PSU "specials". They fail, and they have taken whole computers with them.
My computer doubles as a space heater.

I generally use virtualbox. Have a full 'default' disk image copy, so if something does fuck up, you don't have to format it or reinstall, just delete the old disk image and rename the new one, make a new copy of it, rinse repeat

You're assuming that the OS under which VirtualBox runs cost nothing to install, originally, and nothing ever "fucks (it) up".
[I'm neglecting the overhead of dealing with a VM and any performance hits]
I've found that I can usually reinstall a CZ image in about the same time it takes me to locate an offline copy of the "template" for my VM (I use VMware on an ESXi server) and restore that.
And, of course, my CZ imaged systems aren't constrained to having small-ish system images (e.g., most of my systems have several hundred gigabytes of "system" in their images/VMs)
[I mainly use VMs for dedicated applications under specific OSs and not for complete "running systems". So, I can load an old version of a PCB layout app that ran under W2K without having to worry about it conflicting with a NEWer version of that same app running under W7.]
I have looked for a recovery disk for this computer and not found one yet
IBM 8183
I did find a company that you can get most restore recovery disk
I ordered a set with shipping was less than $20.00
I will share the website link once I get the disk and try them to make sure that this works
This company does take PayPal as payment
