>After reading your Post and the replies, my first
question is - Where did you buy your PC? It should have
come with at least a WindowsXP OEM/reinstall disk. If
not, your going to have a lot of trouble ($$$)later. The
best place to buy what you need is to bid on eBay, it is
less expensive than retail stores.
