OT - Windows XP Installation CD

[Stephen]

Technically The XP licence should be CD+Key+Manual, In the case of
Dell they have their own Installer.

If the System has a key on it then i actually have an XP pro cd you
can use to restore your install. alternatively you can order a
replacement cd from Dell. but it may cost something like 20 bux
