Gather all the information on your copy of Win XP, including your ident code, which
HP should have provided. Contact Microsoft and ask for a replacement disk, that HP
didn't give you a valid XP disk and, since you HAD to replace the MB, you need a
full copy of XP. Microsoft should provide one.
In the meanwhile, contact HP, as well as the dealer who sold the computer, by letter
and tell them that their recovery discs are not sufficient, you PAID for and want
a full copy of WinXP. Send a copy ot that letter to the Consumer affairs office of
you State Attorney General and to the BBB. Note on the letter to HP and vendor where
copies are going. We can not make the manufacturers responsible unless we play hardball.
