Setup CD??

[Maureen]

Hubby's computer crashed and I found the boot and restore discs for it, ran
them and now it is asking for the "original setup CD". OK call me dumb, but
is that the original windows xp program it is looking for?
Because if it is I am out of luck don't have it and cannot find it. So now
may have to buy a new one? Yikes.

Perhaps it is the first one you used and you are being asked to put it
back in?

What is the make and model of this PC? Please describe in as much detail
as possible these discs. Are they CDs or floppies? How many are there?
What does it say on them?
