I have a Dell XPS 4700 that came with a Windows XP Home Edition Reinstallation CD. Recently, we got a HP laptop from work (without a reinstallation CD), and wanted to re-format it. Keep in mind that this is my Dad's laptop, and therefore he doesn't want Linux on it (I've tried convincing him). Will the Dell reinstallation disk work on the laptop?

The spec is good, so with thinking of gaming, can i strip it and rebiuld, with a better video card, cooling, into a full size case?

The CD-ROM drive icon never appears under My Computer or Windows Explorer. It was working a few days ago, and I could both read and burn CDs. We noticed that the CD-ROM icon disappeared 2 days back. Popping in a CD etc does not help. The drivers seem ok, and Control Panel -> System -> Drivers and Disk Drive (Samsung) indicated status as ok. But the drive itself is not recognized and CD's inserted into it cannot be read.
