failure with anyone using XP. The instructions say to contact the manufacturer if such a thing
happens. I expect that they will supply the OS in some form. (XP is a pain IMHO).

Microsoft sees original disks as a license to pirate these days.

when the virtually gave dos away).
There are, however, times when the disk is a necessity, such as when installing a new driver or some such. I don't know about how things are elswhere, but here, if you buy a computer with the OS installed (from a real vendor), you have to be given the original disk as well.

What happens when your C drive fails and you haven't got the install disc?
