Reformatting Question (Please help!)

[treblamj12]

Hello. I own a Dell Laptop (4-5 years old). The laptop is loaded up with viruses and spyware. I have reformatted it before twice, however I lost my discs! Is there anyway I can download the reformatting disc along with the drivers? I really need to do this today. Please and thank you!

Not that I know of unless your friends have the disc. It's XP right? I thought XP was giving away SP3 or something like that, because Windows Updates automatically updated to SP3 for me on my laptop (which is about 3-4 years old)

No. You need a XP install disk to reload it. As long as you still have a product number on you can probably *locate* the CD online *cough -- piratebay -- cough*.
