Need creative suite installation disks

They say that I have to buy the upgrade as they only supply disks for current versions.
I don't need the upgrade and the $600.00 they want me to spend, I feel is hiwaay robbery!
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

windows
standard
version (1.0 no version on box)

I am aware that I have to deactivate the software on the current computer. That is why I need the disks. In fact adobe said IF I had the installation CD's they would help me if I have any problems. They told me to find my disks or borrow someone else’s, since I am registered and have the valid serial.

I have begged them and talked to there supervisors and they told me they don’t care how I get the disks THEY WILL NOT SEND ME ANY@!@. Because they only replace current version disks!

I should also note that all our software is stored in a fire resistant lock boxes. That is why I can’t imagine how they came up missing. The keys are not hidden and after being in business for 13 years this is the first time that anything came up missing. The keys are now locked in a safe and only the owner can get them. I guess that now that software requires activation, the cost is so much greater ADOBE has created new set of thieves.


General information to all who haven’t used ghost on any computer since XP was release. You can no longer boot a drive that was ghosted if the chipset and computer chip are not similar, as the NT core will not be able to access the hard drives once the drivers are loaded even in safe mode. You might be able to go through a reinstall and add the disk drivers and cpu drivers but that doesn’t always work. Or another option is to uninstall the custom drivers and install generic ones before you ghost the drive. If you get lucky and get the drive running you will have to reactivate windows and also will never have a clean install ( in my experience creates an unstable system). Ghost is no longer the solution to change machines. If someone knows of a full proof migration software please let me Know.
