Upgrading system, XP question

[d3moliti0n]

Hey there

So I am upgrading my system, but the Windows XP Home edition installed on this PC was pre-installed when we bought it because the PC is a HP Pavilion. Basically I will only be using the hard drive and DVD-ReWriter from this computer and don't have the disc to reinstall after I format the hard drive. So what am I supposed to do? Because I am on the HP website now and they will be sending me a disc thats specific to the model of computer that I have atm...so that won't work on a new motherboard will it? Does anyone have any idea of what I should do?

Thanks for your help and time.

Buy a new licence.

Perfect exscuse to get Vista

When you bought your HP PC that came with a licence to use OEM XP on that machine only I would imagine.

You'll need to buy a new license for windows, I suggest vista home premium
