Read the Dell User Manual. The Recovery Disk may be on your hard drive.
If not, you must order replacement Recovery disks from Dell.
Store-bought XP will NOT work.

As long as you have the code you are go to go, but make sure u save your files to a external hardrive or a cd or something so u dont lose all your files

No, your good to go. As long as you have a valid xp code you'll be fine.
Just make sure you have the right version of xp i.e. home, pro media ect...
Good Luck
