How did you do this if you don't have the Windows CD?

What exactly did you do?
Is this Windows XP
i went through the windows file and found the installation file and tried to reinstall the windows xp media center.I'm afraid that isn't how to reinstall Windows....

What installation file?

Can you get the Windows CD? (borrow one)i can probably borrow one from a friend but i don't know if it has to be the same version? my sister also got a new computer that she has vista on and she might have her old cd of windows xp. can i use a xp home disc to help me out with using a media center computer?
I'm afraid you will need a Windows Media Center CD. i am at a loss because i don't know of anyone with win xp media center. is there any other way around this?I am afraid you will need the CD.

There's this guy called Amazon. He's got it. Give him $119.99 and he'll SEND you a disk.

Thank you everyone for all your help. I got a disk from gateway for my emachines computer. So far it seems to be okay. There is only a couple of problems.
