Just curious here.

1. Did it not come/did you not burn any backup discs.
2. See the partition and restore it? Was it not deleted when you installed Vista or was it an upgrade?
3. Have you tried any key finders (google it) to obtain your serial from the registry from the xp instal?
4. Get a blag copy of XP and there will be no need for a serial

I did make a system backup CD and I still have it. But when i try to reinstall using this CD I get get this error..."not a D2D system", even with D2D system active in the Bios. Any suggestions? I do have a win xp cd and I did make a record of my XP product code but i want my laptop back to factory settings

fresh install

Why don't you just do a fresh install with a preactivated ver of XP and use a program like Driver Genuis to install all needed drivers.
