when i reformat my drive do i hold to buy window xp?

Depends entirely on what sort of computer you enjoy .... if it's a Compaq or HP or Acer it should have a salvage partition that you can reload Windows from ... by doing a "destructive" restore it will re-format the drive and reload the computer to as you bought it .... if you enjoy a copy of XP on CD next to a cd key ... consequently just re-install it ... if it rejects your activation you may own to ring Microsoft and tell them that you've reformatted and reloaded Windows .. they will issue you beside a new activation switch
if you have the keycode and a disc..reinstall it..if you own the keycode and no disc...go to a computer shop and see if someone will burn you a copy...if you hold neither..yes.
maybe...

1.do you hold recovery disks which come with the computer when it be first purchased?

2. do you have a product switch code? it can be found on the back of you computer on a sticker, or possibly with the paperwork your computer come with.

if you answered no to both question, then yes, you have need of to buy a copy.
No. If U Have a disc and keycode Reinstall it>>>>
