Thanks Squirrelnmoose. I have recovery disks that I made, as instructed, when I got the computer. XP was already loaded. I had used these once way back early in this computer's life. I did not get an XP CD as such, the program was already loaded.

Will these recovery disks load XP for me?

I invest online and really need my machine back asap. Right now, I'm using a borrowed one from a friend.
