Why? How do you know? It is very seldom the best solution to a problem. In
fact it's usually the worst possible solution.
( but i dont have cd. can i make a cd from
copying the windows files on the hard disk?
No.
or is there an other way
of doing this? ive got ligit copy of xp home on h/d and i dont think
theres a hidden partition on it.
If yours is a system that came with XP preinstalled, the OEM vendor had to
give you a way to reinstall if necessary. If you don't have a CD, there
should be a hidden recovery partition on the drive, but you should check
with your vendor to find out.
Personally, I find all these methods unacceptable, and would never choose to
buy a computer that came with an operating system unless I got a complete
generic installation CD for that operating system.
