I have a computer in for repair which has a crashed hard drive.
After replacing the hard drive i would like to re-image it with XP

obtain the source disc from in order to do this as the customer
doesn't have recovery discs and they have already paid once for the
license.

OEM license? (Sticker on the machine?)
