Windows XP Home Edition CD

When I received my computer there was no Windows CD with it. I can see on the side of my computer that the operating system that I am running is Windows XP Home Edition, and it shows my CD key for that product. I have a need now to reformat my computer and I would need the operating system disk. I have a legal CD key that came with my computer, but the CD did not come with it. I saw i can get all of my drivers and downloads from dell.com, i just need the OS CD so i can make my computer "like new".

Is there a way you can send the operating system CD to me?

    Perhaps the below link will help.   What system do you have  ?

      Restore as it was shipped if you purchased your system after July 2004 I think, and the Symantec restore program was not corrupted.....

    If they do not work for you, you will have to call Dell up and ask them for a OS CD.  This is a User to User forum and Dell does not answer your requests from here.

    Jokeremishi,

    You can request an XP reinstallation CD from one of the links in this post.

    Maybe one of you can help me.  I lost my resource cd during a move and have reinstalled XP but I don't have the drivers and utilities.  Can I get a new one somehow?

    You can download the drivers and some utilities at the Desktops or Notebooks tab at the top of this screen.
