My uncle wants me to format his old windows XP pc. He never format that pc 15 years now (!!!) and he doesn't want to by a new one cause he already has a new laptop and wants that pc just for his kids to play. The problem is that he is sure that he hasn't the cd-rom with the windows XP so I'm trying to find the i386 folder inside C. I can't find it anywhere. Not even the search utility give me any results. The machine has windows XP sp3, intel Pentium 4 (2 Ghz) processor and 1 Gb ddr ram (of it matters)

If there is no way to find the i386 folder then how do I format that pc and reinstall Windows XP?

Thanks in advance!

Just get a dell windows xp cd from ebay. That way you can install xp and the setup will format the hdd. These usually are only a couple of dollars including shipping.

i dont know if the manufacturer copied it to the hard drive. But it should be there cause they dont give my uncle the cd-rom.
i'm not familiar with windows XP so there is a high chance that i dont search the right way that folder. Where it should be located and how do i find it?
