"Any help would be great." Yes, it would, like telling *US* what
computer you have that came pre-installed with Windows XP. Then other
users familiar with that computer can tell you how they reinstalled the
operating system. I have never bought a computer with the OS
pre-installed so I've never gotten stuck with a customized (i.e.,
bastardized) version of the OS that was wasting space in a hidden
partition on my hard drive, but from what I've heard from such users
there is a command you run to create CDs to use instead of that hidden
disk partition. So I would suspect the manual for your computer tells
you how to make CDs that can be used to reinstall the OS (which is more
likely that it overwrites the partition with a fixed disk image to
return it to the same state in which you bought it).
