When I bought my computer about 2 years ago, it came pre-
installed with Microsoft Windows XP Professional. I
didn't, however, recieve any sort of CD to re-install
Windows XP Professional in case I needed to reformat my
hard drive. I have a product key for Microsoft Windows XP
Professional, just no CD to install. What do I do?
