Hi,
Im not sure if this is the place to ask, but I don't know
where else to ask.

A friend has a brand new HP pc. I don't know model #,
but it is a P4/XP.

we have to reinstall XP. My friend sais he doesn't have
any disks, and none came with his computer. I know HP's
normally have a recovery partition on the hard drive.

He sais he has no disks. Do I need disks? Can this be
done with a "recovery" program on the computer? Lastly,
when I do this will it errase all the programs he's
installed, or will those remain?

Thanks a lot!!!
Gary
