Replaced faulty Hard Drive. No installation disk - How can I install Windows?

Hi,

Probably a dumb question!! But I have had to replace my hard drive on my
notebook. I don't have any back up CD (Doh!) as the re-installation software
was on a partition on my old drive.

I guess I can get the various drivers that I will need from the Web, but
what are my options with windows XP? The original license info is on a label
on the notebook.

Cheers

Gibbo

You will have to go to the maker of your PC for that. OEM installations such
as yours are not covered by Microsoft.

Contact your laptop manufacturer for instructions on how to proceed.
