    Since my previous virus attack which was resolved so well ... my laptop is acting up so much I've decided to do a total reinstall of my XP.

    However .. I can't locate the HP Pavillion disk set that came with. I know MS don't replace OEM software so ..... Does anyone know if I can make a reinstallation disk? Or where I go to get a repelacement set?

    I'm already to go! Having backed up all my data, pst's, drivers and installation packages for my installed software. I've got the HDD programme to take it back to RAW ... It's just the XP re-installation needed now :c(

    HP.com would be the logical place to look. Odds are they'll send you a set if you ask them.

    This is unnecessary, just delete the existing partition, create a new one and do a full format during the install.
