    Hello all,
    Hopefully someone might be able to help me. I had a problem with this a while back.
    Basically I have an OEM Windows XP installation, however I have not got the reload disc from Time Computers, who I purchased my PC from. The operating system is held on a hidden partition of the hard drive. Normally, you need this reload CD from Time computers to reset the computer and re-install windows. I, however, cannot find the disk. Is there anything I can do to access the hidden partition. I seem to remember accessing the Reload disc once before, and I am nearly sure the name Norton Ghost Disc appeared on-screen. I presume all OEM copies of XP come this way.

    Can anyone help?

    Instead of TIME giving you the install CD they created a Norton Ghost image or clone of the OS when it was first installed, get your self Norton Ghost boot from folppy and you should be able to reinstall the OS.

    Thanks joePC
