There are a number of ways to tackle this problem, from finding and re-enabling the hidden partition or possibly starting the recovery process from the Boot menu.
However I've just had my tea and feel a bit snoozy. Will come back to see how you are doing later.
Nevertheless, it really will run nicely with XP. 1GB RAM in conjunction with other hardware is a good combination. Supplying it with Vista was a mistake.
But it you prefer we can attack the restoring the use of the recovery partition(snore)
