Anyone have a working copy of XP home, that they could send me a disc for?
My pc has some serious probs & taking it back to factory settings doesn't help as what ever's on it seems to stay on it. The only alternative I can think of is to reformat the hard drive but you don't get the operating system discs with the pc anymore!

Don't count on it.
Our kids laptops had Vista basic on them and when we tried to re-install Vista (after running Ubuntu for a bit), it wouldn't have it.
Whatever you do, DO NOT install Vista, it's crap.
