if a name brand computer like dell then will be on front of case, also check user manual. if a clone computer then look at motherboard manual.

All branded (hp,dell etc) models come with a recovery partition instead of a windows disk if it's an hp hold f10 down on restart
some models on the boot screen will have the recovery option you'll see at bottom of screen which keyboard key to push,failing that read the manual for recovery options or just go thru the programs list looking for wording like recovery options etc or non branded what DDP said

yes. is the xp cd from ms or dell. if from dell then it is probably a recovery cd so it will put everything back to when you 1st got the computer. what anti-virus program are you using as dell might have old version of norton or mcaffee?
