I have a computer with XP on and would like to wipe everything off it and just reinstall XP. However, I was given no disc with the computer. Is there any way I can reinstall it without a disc?

Thanks

Nope. Not unless you have a recovery partition, they tend to be on branded PCs only.

Another bit more complicated option is to reinstall from the I386 folder on the root your C: drive if that folder does exist, if it does, follow the guide in the link below

(Note this is most likely the case if you have a branded PC)

By doing it this way you will have a totally fresh install of windows with out all the preinstalled bloatware

.

But if you dont have a branded pc as such, then you are pretty buggered
