I got 3 Compaq Evo D510 SFF's from Tiger Direct and they each came with a COA
that had to be activated once the computers were setup. The other day there
was a problem and the computer had to be reformated, and no I have no WinXP
Pro CD to install with. Even though I have the COA on the Machine. Is there
anyway of getting a Generic WinXP Pro CD, or getting this to work?

Thanks

Thanks A lot. Yea I had to go out and buy a recovery kit, but that's $10
compared to buying XP over again. Thanks
