I have Windows 2000 Professional. Somehow, the CD has
become unreadable (reliably) and I cannot complete a clean
install on my PC.

How does one go about getting a replacement CD from
Microsoft?

It'd be a lot cheaper just to download an ISO, god knows they're everywhere
on the web...

But, I've heard that many of the images out there have/may have viruses or
something else undesirable?

Just troll the warez groups a bit, see what comes recommended...

alternatively, just borrow the CD from someone and copy it.
