So you took the computer to a shop - he puts XP Pro on it - doesn't give you
a disk - guess he didn't charge you for putting XP Pro on - can you see
where this is going?

The legitimate XP costs money - end of. You either pay it or you don't.

I would go back to the shop, tell the owner what happened and get his
reaction.

I agree with Mike!!! If they are putting illegal copies of Windows on
in a business environment, they can get in a lot of trouble. You may
also want to give Dell a call. Depending on the age of your PC you
might be able to restore it to the way it was previous to the new XP
installation.
