ok, well i have a big problem with reformatting my comp then, i dont have recovery cd's, nor do i have a XP cd, i never got either when i purchased my comp, i guess i will have to contact IBM ( where i got my comp ) or go out and by the home version of win XP. any other suggestions?
i would say that contacting the company you got the pc from would be a good idea. you should never get a pc without the OS install disk or atleast a recovery disk.
going out and buying it would be an option, but its expensive and i would save that as a last resort.
