Thanks it doesnt actually say why I need the CD just that
it needs to 'update files'. my pc is running ok so I'll
just try and replace it.

That is an unusual request. As Will asked what specifically are you trying
to do? Are you certain it is asking for the Windows XP CD or do you have
Office XP installed and it is asking for Office XP?

We need more information.
