Thanks Rick for your response. I looked at the CD and read the printing on
it. Here's what it says:
                                        NEC
                 Windows XP Home Installation CD

This is a back-up CD-ROM only. May be used only with a NEC Computer. The
software included on this CD-ROM was pre-installed on your hard drive at the
factory. This CD contains software for backup purposes only. The performance
of the software is the sole responsibility of the PC manufacturer of the
computer system purchased with the software.

Would you say that this CD contains the complete XP Home?

Two others CDs were also included:
1. Applications Installation CD.
2. Online Documentation and Drivers CD.

Regards
