    I had to do a System Recovery this last weekend due to a virus that spread through our system files and corrupted everything. When we got the pc (Gateway GT5014) it had XP already installed and no disks were included aside from System Recovery. I was an idiot and listened to my dad who said that all XP files and drivers were on that disk. As you probably know and I figured out, they aren't.
    I know that I've seen a link to download an XP recovery cd, but I can't find it this morning. I need serious help with this.
    Also, last night when I tried to download the SP3 of XP my system crashed. I know that there have been huge issues with SP3 and I was wondering if this was one of them.

    We have the Gateway Recovery disk, just not the XP one. We actually found all of the drivers that we had except for three.
    Now we just have to get MS word to work again...
    thanks for the links.
