I recently bought my system wth XP preinstaled by the OEM, however no CD was
included, is there any way to acess the repair function without the disk?

Thanks

You'll really need to ask the manufacturer or the manuals that came with the
system, but possibly they've provided is a re-installation mechanism that
does not need the CD. This doesn't always remove user data, but can if you
make incorrect choices.

If they did not provide this, you probably can't do a repair without a CD.
And since a repair install may ask for an installation key, and an OEM key
will not work with retail CDs, you may have a problem.

You should check the manuals and with the manufacturer before doing much of
anything else.
