Lost XP when accidentally erased drive during install of Ubuntu. There are
no disks with this laptop which my girl friends son got from his dad. It
came with XP as there is a Windows XP Home Edition Product Key/Label on the
back. Can I get XP going again without spending $$$. Laptop is an; emachine
