Did you get any recovery CD's with the Laptop? Those would have the operating system on them. The other item is to check your Start/Programs area and see if there is a System Recovery option. This will point to a secure partition on your laptop that contains all your pre-installed software and drivers. There should be an option to create a set of recovery CD's or DVD's that would be used to rebuild your system incase you have a failure such as corupted system files or drivers or applications.

You can also check out the website for your laptop manufacturer for information on this subject.

Hope this helps a bit.


System : Gateway 1.73 mHz
OS: XP Pro Media Center
