You can go through the same wizard to install everything
she took off, but you need the Windows CD - so depending
on where you got the operating system, it will either be
a CD u purchased, or a Restore disk if it came with the
system. Also, some companies put the files in a folder on
your c: drive called i386.
Hope this helps.

Nah! These are windows components and can be added via add/remove windows
components in control panel.

But one would still need the XP-CD.
If you uninstalled a Windows component (Calculator), you would not expect it
to still be on your HDD anywhere, thus you would need the XP-CD to reinstall
it (Calculator).
