I want to fix my com due to a spoilt graphics card but i cannot find my XP OS
disc to reformat it. Is there anyway to get a new OS disc? Or can i still
upgrade my software if i were to use another original OS disc to reformat the
com while using my original product key?

Please reply to crimson236@hotmail.com if possible. Thank you very much...

You will probably get the message that the xp program you're installing is
older than the one already installed and it won't go any further

You can use another OS cd ( as long as is the same OS) any use your existing
product key.
