If it's a Packard Bell running Windows XP, it's it probably NEC based. I have the XP Recovery disc here.
But I can try to identify the exact machine, if you install and run Speccy(be careful to not install the bub=ndled junkware) and then share the data with me
Perhaps the machine can be upgraded at a low cost.
