Lost Windows XP disc

Binoette 2 has a Dell laptop which she bought new a couple of years ago. Her description of its problems now sounds as though a reinstall of Windows is the obvious solution, which is not a major drama since she has all her important files backed up, but she cannot find the Windows XP installation disc that came with the computer.

She is sending the lappy to me but is there anything I can do without the original disc or do I have to buy a whole new one? I have my own XP disc but I assume Mr Gates had made sure I can't put it on another computer.

Any suggestions? Is it worth ringing Dell?
