Anyone contemplating buying a new computer should insist that a full Windows XP operating system disk and any other software disks are included in the purchase price. The restore disk will not do what you need it to do when you have a system problem, you can only restore your system to the condition it was in when you purchased it. Running the restore disk formats your hard drive and removes all your files, photo's etc, it then re-installs Windows XP and any other software your system was originally set up with, end result an original clinically clean PC system. It also means that any software, antivirus, firewalll, Windows updates etc, will have to be downloaded and installed again. Time consuming to say the least!
