XP Media Edition installation

My computer is messed up and I'm 99% sure that I need to reformat my hard drive and start fresh. My computer is the XP Media Edition 2005. The thing is, I never recieve a Media Edition CD. I do have XP Professional discs that were installed onto other computers within my household. But I would prefer to have XP Media again after I reformat my hard drive. What ways can I get XP Media onto my computer again?

Unless you ordered them at time of purchase, Dell no longer supplies the reinstall disks.
You will have to contact Dell to get the Media Center Edition reinstall disks (they come in DVD format).  Try one of the links here:
CHAT with Dell
EMAIL Dell
Call Dell 1-800-624-9896
 
If you explain your situation (and you might have to try more than one rep- be persistant) they should send you the disks.
