Hi

You can reboot without an XP CD. Have you got any problems that makes you
think your PC won't reboot properly? Start>Turn Off Computer>Restart.

Reboot...?
Yes. It never should have required the CD to be in place to do this.

Reinstall the OS..?
No. You have to have the media or some image of your system in order to
reinstall.
