you cannot use the boot disk, but not all is lost. If you can get your hands on a regular windows xp home cd, you can load windows back on the machine. Go ahead and put the oem code in when it asks for it (on the bottom of the machine), it will allow you to load. When you attempt to activate windows it will fail and ask you to call a 800 number to Microsoft. Call Microsoft and explain why you have to reload. They will give you a very long number to enter on the same screen that gave you the phone number. Once you have entered it, go to your manufacturer's web site, you can then download all the required drivers for your machine. In my experience, the machine runs better than it did new, because of the lack of all the garbage software manufactures load on the machine. Post back if you need any other help
