You can get a new hard drive, any of the major brands comes with installation software, and make a drive to drive copy of your old hard drive to the new one. The new one can be quite a bit larger than the old one, but not smaller. This is a simple, fairly inexpensive way to back up your system in cases where you don't have the installation disks. The safest course is to put one disk away so that a power surge or other problem won't damage both disks.

the hp i own can make as many recovery sets as it wants
instead of a reformat can you dou a system recovery not a restore but a recovery
this can be found in all programs with pc help and tools
you should see system recovery
if that dont work you need a xp cd with product key to do a reformat

The (Windows XP home) key code is on the side of the computer but we do not have the disks. When he bought new he burned the recovery cd’s but he it said it would only let him burn 1 set. How do we format and reload Windows XP home with out the disks.

so what your saying is you dont have the recovery partition in your computer
if you can get an xp cd you can do a reformat make sure you have product key with xp cd
the moderators kieth or wannabe1 can help you with a BOOT AND NUKE you can make that program and wipe out your hard drive wait and they will be on ill see if one of them is available

If none of these options are suitable
http://h10025.www1.h...;product=299510
Use Live Chat here to ask for a list of options
http://ipgweb.cce.hp...t...ng=en&cc=us
An advantage of using Live Chat services is that they usually stick with it until it is resolved as they are too embarrassed to say they cannot fix it
