I have tried to reload my system many times but there seems to be a fault with the recovery disk.

I have seen many different versions on Ebay. Is there any problem with either getting a complete edition or a recovery disk for my machine?

If you registered your XP when you first got it, you can get a copy from Microsoft - for a charge.
Phone your nearest Microsoft centre for more info.

I have heard that if you purchase XP from a third source it is useless especially if it is activated from another computer. I am ignorant about an OEM version and the standard version....what is the difference? And also is a recovery disk peculier to one machine or are they interchangeable/
