Right, now then I won't go into specifics but XP needs reinstalling but
I don't have the CD as I wasn't supplied with my Laptop.

Heres what I have;

An XP CD which doesn't go with this computer

The I386 folder, I know it has all the windows stuff in but how can I
use it to Reinstall?

A reload CD which is unusable due to a new BIOS.

Does anybody know how to use these components to Reinstall windows, I
would be grateful for your help as my laptop is crippled at the
moment.

It's so much easier to suggest solutions when you don't know too much about
the problem

You will have to work this out with the company that made your laptop,
unless you want to purchase a copy of Windows XP (Full Install) and download
all necessary Windows XP drivers from the laptop manufacturers web site.
