    hey guys, i was wondering if after i reformat my harddrive if i have to use the same exact XP home cd that came with my computer or if i can use any old XP home cd. I have a genuine key/serial on the tower and also the certificate that came with it, just cant find the xp home cd with my pc. I have two system restore cd's.... not sure if they would have windows on them?? but i have a windows xp home cd from my g/f's pc wondering if that would work and i just used my serial numbers

    thanks.
