HELP! Windows XP Home Install Disk Needed (Medion PC)

fox2319

I'm just doing a clean install on my old PC (having gone for the Dell deal a few weeks back) and I can't find an XP HOme install disk to do a clean install!. It's a new hard disk in the old machine (due to some fun linux experimentation wiping my MBR on the original disk some time ago) so I really need to install from scratch (rather than a recover disk), I also want to wipe everything before it goes.

Anybody got a spare disk they can loan me?

Dunno if you need this info but it's the Aldi Medion PC from a few years back, 2.66GHz P4, Medion Connect XL, Model PC MT6 is shown on the back.

Any help appreciated

Thanks

If you use the restore CD it does wipe everything and restore back to manufacturers out of the Box condition via Powerquest ghosting technologies.

So, Install restore CD and boot from it on start up when asked where to boot from.

UNfortunately, as I had the slight accident (?) when installing linux that screwed the original MBR and necessitated a new HDD to boot from (so that I could recover my data), the recover CD won't work (even if I could find it).

Thanks for the suggestion though.

I can forward you some files and instructions that will get the original restore files back on your PC as long as you can partition your HDD.
