So recently my xp pc has been acting up and I want to re-install windows xp on it, I have the key for windows xp home edition 32-bit but I can't find my cd, how do I get a cd to re-install xp on my system? Or is there another way to get windows xp back on? Thanks for the help.
 
You could borrow a CD but you would also need to know the Product Key that goes with it, otherwise it won't install. If it does, you would then need to activate the new installation by telephoning Microsoft.

It's almost certainly easier to fix the existing system so tell us what's wrong - someone will have had experience of it and will be able to help.
