Hi
If it's a 'recovery' disk, contact Dell to see if they can help.

Terry:
Dell's website has extensive instructions on how to re-install Windows XP
with the disks that came with your computer. I have replaced my hard drives
twice with no problems re-installing Windows XP. It can only be re-install
on the same computer. Unless you have made extensive component changes,
there should not be a problem.

What do you mean ""If a recovery disk". If what is a recovery disk? I told
you the disk was a Reinstallation CD of Windows XP (Home Edition) from Dell
which I received with the computer. Do you understand what I asked? Would
you like me to rephrase it?
Thanks.

I hope that's a sarcastic tone to that last post - for
someone asking for help, that's too rude not to be funny.
Recovery disk - Reinstallation CD are interchangable
terms used to describe CD's consisting of an OS capable
of bringing the computer in question back to a previous
state.
