the hard drive on my Acer aspire one has the click of death. how do I install win xp on the new hard drive without a xp recovery disc? Acer was no help, they said to buy a disc and they do not have one to sell.

note: this is a netbook, no optical drive.

Larry can I ask if your netbook has a sticker on the bottom with the name of the original OS and version along with the reg key?

Win XP Home Edition is the version.
Being a Netbook I would suspect it should be SP3 then.
Now you only need to find the OEM version from a friend to reload the system.
You can use your reg number but the installation disk must be a OEM version of XP Home Edition.
