That's what I was thinking, however sclith does have a point considering the skill level of DFF.
Chances are you are looking for something that is labeled a "System Restore Disc For <Insert Computer Name>". It might not even say "Windows XP" on it, depending on the model/age of the computer. I know my Dell discs are pretty clearly labeled but I have had some older computers restore discs that are not.

I know exactly what I'm looking for, but it's a matter of remembering where I decided to store them.
On the other hand, I did find the Vista disc for my daughters laptop....hmmmmm.
I must've painted a pretty sketchy picture of myself in this sub-forum by now!
