It's not like the old Win 95-98 CDs. It's got the Dell logo on it. It's
called "Reinstallation CD Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition." It also has
this message: "Only use this CD to reinstall the operating system on a Dell
Computer. This CD is not for reinstallation of programs or drivers. For
distribution only with a new Dell computer." I have the Works Suite CDs,
another with the Dell installed programs, and, finally, one for
"reinstalling device drivers and using diagnostics, utilities and online
documentation"...It says.
That sounds better than a "recovery CD" doesn't it???

Honestlly. What do you think I should do. A new HDD I can afford, especially
if I do the work myself and don't blow everything up.
Infinite thanks,
