Which really is a bust because the only way some of us have of getting BACK 
XP is by reformat. Mine is on the reformat cd. I didn't GET a copy of XP 
with my computer..it's ONLY on the reformat disk. UNLESS like 98 there is a 
copy hidden somewhere in Windows on the hardrive. I used to reinstall 
windows THAT way.  Never have found it that way on this hard drive but I 
wouldn't know what I was looking for here. In 98 it was in CAB..and then set 
up...
