You are talking rubbish. If you have a recovery CD or DVD then you are not a
sensible person. All Dell and HP systems are so called OEMs but this does not
mean they don't come with their own OEM OS CDs

I can send you the photocopy or color image of the actual CD if you want to
amuse yourself with your hands inside your pants!

If not shut up and go to sleep.

I'm not talking rubbish, what you have and what OEM PC's come with are two
different things, if you've been in the field for 25 years you would know
that. Dell, HP, Sony, and most other big name OEM's do not include A Windows
XP disk, they include recovery media to restore the system to a factory
state, nowadays most don't even include that, the have a recovery partition
on the hard drive.
