NO OPERATING SYSTEM!

HI, I was just doing a system recovery on my C drive on my XP desktop.
After using CD 1, I put in CD2 like it asked, then it came up with an
error like: disk not compatable or something like the disk won't work
(even though it was the correct disk!). Now when I boot up my desktop,
it tells me that there is No Operating System found. PLEASE help in
this problem- I would like to re-install Windows XP, but I do not have
XP install disks because the computer came loaded with XP.
*BTW- the computer has a D drive, I'm not sure if there are windows
backup files on it, but C is the OS drive. THANK YOU!!!!

Re: NO OPERATING SYSTEM!

this sounds like an issue
required to be addressed by
the pc maker...

check out the parent website
for faq's or technical support .

you might have a hidden
partition with the installation files.

Re: NO OPERATING SYSTEM!

I can't get passed this message, though. I can boot floppys, but the
laptop I am on now does not have a floppy drive, so I cannot download
the start-up disks...
