I haven't tried this (I've always had a full copy of MS Windows 95-XP, no Vista yet though) but you might want to take a look at this site that claims to be able to build a bootable setup CD from an existing Windows installation.
Other sites came back in the search results too but this one seemed pretty straight forward.
Google terms: making a windows reinstall disk from an existing system

Tell us what kind of computer or laptop or notebook do you have? Maybe you don't need a disk but the recovery system which is inside your HHD in a partition. See, when you start your SO try to see in the first screen if there's an instruction to recover your system, maybe F12 Recovery System for instance. Or maybe a Blue key in your keyboards to access to that partition. if it's so, Bingo. But if it's piracy, yes you need a disk.

if you have code then its good because its the code that you have to pay for.
you can just download windows xp from internet (won't tell you how). make sure its the same one, like xp home edition or xp pro sp2.... like that.
then you burn to a cd and reinstall using your code.
