Although this newsgroup is not for general Windows questions (it's for
Microsoft .NET programming quesitons), the answer is, no, you can't burn a
Windows XP CD from just the files you have on your hard drive, unless the
OEM actually put the entire Windows XP CD files on your hard drive
somewhere.

Can I create a start up CD for XP without the original XP CD that SHOULD
have
come with my computer but never did? Can I buy a new one from somewhere?
I bought the computer about 4 years ago in Hong Kong. I now live in
London.
So contacting the retailer to ask them to supply me with what they never
did
in the first place is unlikely.
Useful advice always welcome and gratefully received.
