The above msg came up on my laptop. the problem is, Windows XP was installed when I bought it and it didn't come with the CD. Is there anywhere I can download the file and apply it to the laptop via a USB Stick???? Thank you

Thank you for your help. Does that mean, if I get anyone's Windows XP on a CD it will work or does it need to be the one specific for my machine?
