you can't install/reinstall windows without the original windows disk, unless your computer is a brand name one (such as Dell, HP...) that has a restore disk you can use.

For the best quality mp3s use EAC (exact audio copy) to rip your audio CDs and LAME to encode them. Follow this guide:

You could use your original CD to do a Repair Installation.

Make sure the system is set to boot from the CD, boot from the CD, choose to install Windows. Then, after you get thru the EULA (press F8 to accept), you will be given an option to repair the current installation after setup detects it.

Once complete, and if it worked, you'll need to reinstall the chipset(motherboard) drivers, video, sound...and Windows updates.

If you have a really decent DVD burner, AND you have Nero installed on your computer, there is another way. You can use Nero's DriveSpeed tool to lower the initial read speed of the drive (temporarily of course) and rip the XP CD to your hard drive. Then, make a new backup CD from it.

Of course, you may not have to lower the drive's read speed...it's just a suggestion to get the drive to read the information thru the scratches so you don't end up with corrupted file copies.

Almost all other drivers can be downloaded from the manufacturer's websites.
