Default windos xp installation disk

Hi. So one of my older p4 socket 478 computer hdd has crashed and a new hdd was changed. Meaning all preinstalled OS and drivers files are have to install again. But the hp does not provide any windows xp installtion disk and I have the product key sticker on the chassis itself. There are no recovery disk too. What should I do? Not logical to buy a new OEM disk as I have the product key right?

You could try to contact HP and see if they will provide a recovery disk. A lot of OEM systems contain a Recovery partition on the HDD, but if the drive goes bottoms up the manufacturer should still provide disks to recovery the system.

Best of luck!
