Is your computer a package one that was prebuilt? If so, they sometimes put a partition on your HDD that you can go back to should anything go wrong.

Stick the CD in yer drive, and have a looksee ('Browse CD')... but I very much doubt it. WIndows XP should've been supplied on a seperate CD :rolleyes:

In that case... it seems t' me yer only option is t' buy a copy of XP... reformat the HDD, and install the OS (and everything else) from scratch :rolleyes: :(

That's what you're looking for, and the instructions on how to use it.

If you don't have one, then you'll have to contact Time themselves and see if they can send you a replacement.

HTH :)

A lot of package computers like Time and HP come with all the software installed but when it goes wrong you don't have an XP or whatever Windows you are using. My mum got a recovery CD which puts everything back to how it was again (Windows included on the CD). Same with my bros HP PC.

Personally I'd start a fresh and then you can choose what you want on there. And you have the driver CD so...!

Having spoken to Time many times regarding problems... call them up and I know they send out Recovery disks as we had to get a new one as the drivers on the original one were not right!

Yeah... it's as simple as visiting the main Time Computers (http://www.timecomputers.com/) website (which you'd find by typing 'Time Computers' into the page Forthy linked to), and looking for a 'Contact Us' type button.

In their case, it's 'Contacts' (http://www.timecomputers.com/info/contact.php) - which you'll find on the left side of the page under 'Site Options' :)
