How to restore my Acer Aspire Revo r1600 Nettop (mini desktop) without the recovery partition or disk?

I have an Acer Aspire Revo r1600 Nettop (mini desktop) and I had to reinstall windows xp and it deleted the recovery partition so I can't recover it. I have to do all of this because I can't activate it. It won't let me use the key (I think it's because it's an OEM key and it doesn't work with non OEM software). So is there any way I can restore this computer to it's original settings without the recovery disk or the partition? I know I might need a CD to recover it, but I am in debt and have no money to buy one. I need an iso and I don't know where to find one. Can someone help me? I would really appreciate it. Thanks!

P.S. I read that I could restore/rebuild/reload the activation certificate, but I don't know how to do it for windows xp. Can someone help me? (Here is a way to do it, but this is for windows 7: http://forum.notebookreview.com/ace...dows-7-acer-passes-offlne-oem-activation.html Can someone please help me activate, if I can't do it any other way besides this way, how can I do this way on windows xp?)

Sorry for doing that.

I still need to recover this computer. Where can I download a recovery iso for this machine (aspire revo r1600)? Will an acer one recovery disk work? I really need an iso. I'm in debt and I have no money to buy a recovery disk. Please help. Thank you!
