Recovery disks can sometimes be bought or possibly downloaded free from the support section of your machine manufacturers website. Other than that you'd need to buy a copy of XP itself (eBay probably) and install it - getting all the correct drivers may be time consuming.0

You would have been prompted to make a recovery disc set the first time you switched the machine on, I'm guessing you didn't do that?
Post the make & model back here, and I'll use Google to look up the recovery procedure for you.Remember kids, it's the volts that jolt and the mills that kill.0 -
You may find the recovery disks already located on a hidden partition on the hard drive. The PC will create them for you. Make and model ?0
