Further to earlier posts I think that I have to reinstall XP, but for
(legitimate reasons stated I don't have the original disks. I know
that XP online registration means that
the same version cannot be registered twice, but if I go in control
panel and then system it gives me the registration code. Can I then
borrow some xp disks from somebody, but then when the time comes
enter
the registration number from my pc? Surely the important thing is the
licence, not the disks.

Correct. Just make sure that the media you use is the same as what's on
your computer, Pro for Pro, Home for Home, etc.
