All Windows XP computers have one of the following:
a) A Windows XP installation CD, or
b) A Factory restore CD, or
c) A boot CD that restores Windows from a hidden partition on your disk.

The manual that came with your PC tells you which one it is. Have a look at
it, then select the method that is appropriate for your PC.
