Hi, I'm trying to if I can, re-install windows XP Home Edition on my
girlfriends laptop. Windows XP came pre-loaded on her computer and we can not
find a installation cd or anything that refers to re-installing XP. Is there
anything I can do to accomplish this? I remember a long time ago with a
desktop unit I purchased, that customer support told me that there is a
folder in the windows directory (I386) which holds the setup files for
windows... Is this true and if you can provide any additional help it will be
greatly appreciated...

The laptop is a handme down from her parents and it is a "Great Quality" "mx
3203" I think its a "fry's Electronics" brand. Couldn't find anything on
their website though...
Thanks for the response, you help is appreciated...

I believe that unless the I386 folder is a copy of the origonal xp
installation cd then it cannot be done.
