You can request cd's online if you're missing them.  http://support.dell.com/support/topics/global.aspx/support/dellcare/en/xpscd_form?c=us&cs=19&l=en&s=dhs

It is not a MS boot disk. It the XP reinstall disk and is titled 'For Reinstallation of the Operating System' or something similar. You boot to that, select the Recovery Console and type CHKDSK  /R at the prompt. (not /P) After that runs--make take a long time on big disk--you run FIXBOOT. If you're lucky that will correct the errors.
