Hi,

I'm staring at the Blue Screen of Death and realize my laptop did not ship
with an XP Install Disk. My question is there an easy way to make a
Bootable CD and if so how? I'm running XP Professional SP2.

Many thanks in advance!!!

Only if you have all the files - in which case - you would most likely
already have a Windows XP CD, eh?

What is the Bluescreen complaining about?

What is the make and model of your laptop? Did you buy it second-hand?
Is there an i386 folder on your C: drive?
 
If a set of disks did not come with the computer, there will be a hidden
Recovery partition (not to be confused with System Restore) you would use to
do a clean install.

and if the reinstall partition is gone there are many sources for OEM
media.
Like eBay!
