How Do You Reinstall Windows XP Without The CD?
• Understand that after a while your computer will start to slow down, freeze and sometimes not even shut down correctly. These symptoms are perfectly normal for Microsoft Windows operating systems that require a clean, fresh start. But sometimes manufacturers do not include a copy of the operating system on a disk to save you money when purchasing your computer and ultimately save them money too. • Access the copy of the operating system on the hard drive. If manufacturers do not supply a Windows XP CD with the purchase of your new computer, they have most definitely stored a copy in your hard drive for later use. You can easily access this copy of the CD on your hard drive to completely reinstall or format partitions on your computer. • Back up your personal data including photos, pictures, documents, favorites, passwords and settings to CD/DVD/USB. • Make sure you have your Windows product key/serial number. This could be located on the computer itself, or in the original packaging
