You're not the only one stupid enough to buy a PC without a full XP disc. My emachines junkbox only has restore discs with Norton Ghost images on it, so when I eventually will need to reinstall everything, I'll have to revert my hardware back to what it was when the discs were made! What a PITA! I really should break down and get an OEM XP SP1 disc before it's too late; I cant use SP2 due to software issues.
