If you got no CD then you were supposed to create it yourself on a program on your computer, click start, all programs, something should say something like system recovery. Otherwsie call dell and ask them to send you the CD's to your computer.

We did that with my sisters HP computer, they send her the cd's for free.

You can use any XP cd (Its best to use what version was installed on your laptop) Usually the CD key is printed on a green label on the bottom or back of your laptop, when you install xp use the cd key to activate it.
your dell may also have a recovery partition you can boot up.

press F12 or maybe Esc to bring up a boot list ... pick the recovery partition...

follow the steps and you can do a sys recovery and keep all your my documents folders.

They didnt give you a disk because you have everything you need on that other partition.

need more help...email or mssg me.
Yea...that's something you need to ask about when you buy a new computer heh? The OS disk! Comes in real handy when it needs to be formatted and reinstalled...Just about any Office Max, Best buy, Fry's Electronics...whatever has XP Operating system disks to buy...expect to pay at least $100...
