while you can buy xp from ebay quite cheaply you may then find yourself with driver problems depending on the hardware that tiny have used. the restore (or reclaim) disks are by far the easiest way to go IMHO as it will include all the correct hardware drivers required for your machine

this is what I was talking about earlier regarding the sony recover disks

yeah i think i will do that then its the easiest option the only discs that came with the pc are the 5 windows ones which contain word etc and your system and driver cd

ill ring them back and order it, least then i can use it over and over again

cheers guys for helping me out, trust my grandad to buy from a company that went bust lol
