huh? did you mean the OS? Yes, but they also want you to call in and tell them that you're re-installing the OS, so they don't think you're lending your serial to somebody else. It's just basic MICROSOFT...

Do you have a full version cd of your OS??
If you do this site will help.

They probably mean that with Win XP you have to register/activate your copy of XP. :rolleyes:

No just make a note of those you need the most.
Next time devide you HD in 2 partitions.., and store important files there.
