I had to format and am reinstalling now. I never received an installation disk from hp when I bought the computer, will the product key on the bottom of the laptop work with any installation disk after a format? Will Microsoft give me a new key if it doesn't, or do I need to buy a new copy of XP? Everything was registered and legal before the format, I just don't want to run into problems now.
