Bought a Dell Desktop this week, and it came with CDs for various software pre-installed.

But no CD for XP preinstalled ... just a square of card printed to look like a CD with a message "You don't need an XP CD, either restore to an earlier restore point or select Factory Reset from within the BIOS".

Wasn't absolutely convinced ... what happens if the HDD fails post warranty period? Guess I'm tied to a Dell replacement with an XP Install set already loaded, rather than a generic replacement?
