Does anyone know how I can fix this? My computer didn't come with a Windows XP installation CD. Also, I think that I will lose all the bundled software like my DVD program and such if I am unable to restore the system with these discs. And buying a new copy of Windows XP is impossible. Please help me out if you can.

Hello Amarce and welcome to Geeks to Go!
Have you run across the following thread at the Cyber Tech Help Support Forums?
Problems formatting hard drive - Cyber Tech Help Support Forums
It's pretty much word-for-word what you've posted here. Seems a bit strange to me, have you been without your computer for this long?
Anyways, to me it seems like there was something wrong with your original system restore disks. Now that you've also deleted the recovery drive, there isn't much hope for recovery of your PC. If you can contact the distributor/retailer, maybe they could offer some support.
The only other suggestion I can provide to you is take your hard drive out of the case, put it in a working system, and copy the data that you want to save off of it. If you have no disks for the bundled programs, there's not much way of recovering them.
Regards,
Ax
