Ried,
I was going to try the first suggestion you made, however, It stopped me right off when it asked for a windows XP Home CD. If you will go back to previous posts, you will be reminded that when I got this computer, it had an illegal XP on it. I made the guy get the CD's for a legal XP which he got from HP. There are seven of them & it says on the front of the jacket; HP 524w System Recovery Disks Win XP Home Edition Original Bundled Software. I know from past experience with my Dell that I should have gotten just one disk to work with repair or reinstall so I don't know which disk of the seven I should use. The flyer that came with them says they are system recovery disks & they can either do a standard recovery or a full system recovery so I'm afraid to touch them as I don't know which one to put in the player.
