Lost Original Windows XP CD but need to reformat
 

Hello,

I need to reformat my computer. However, I have lost or misplaced my
original Windows XP Home edition SP2 CD. Do I have to buy another Windows XP
Installation CD or is there another way I can reformat my computer?

Use the Contact Us link at the bottom of Microsoft's home page. Follow
the prompts for your product. Eventually you get to phone numbers you
can call to order replacement media.

Formatting the hard drive (you can't format a computer) does not
require a Windows CD. But reinstalling Windows after formatting the
drive (which is what I assume you want to do) does require a CD.

Do you have your product key? If so, you can use it with a CD borrowed
from a friend, as long as it is Home Edition, is the same regarding
OEM vs. Retail, and is the same regarding Full vs. Upgrade. If the
borrowed CD doesn't match yours in any of those regards, your product
key won't work with it.
