windows xp home edition

I have windows xp that came on my computer 2 years ago. Yesterday I checked to see if the disk came with it for back up,but it didnt. I have the product keys and all info needed to reinstall it if I crash or run into major problems. Any idea what course of action I need to take to get a disk that I can conform to my product keys.

try calling the company that sold you the computer, or call microsoft and tell them about it. but either way i think it looks doubtful. might have to go out and buy your own or obtain it elsewhere...

If you have a "recovery disc" which i suspect you do, then you wont really be able to do much as what you're looking for is something like a "WindowsXP disc" ... the former allows you to repair and instalation and reset some default settings, the latter lets you do whatever you want
