I completely deleted windows XP

I have the Operating System CD, but not the user documentation.  How do I use this CD to reinstall my windows xp on my HP Mini 1030NR. I do not have the product key code, it has faded from the bottom of my notebook.  Thank you in advance.

Hi

As i see if you have the Operating system CD which has been shipped from HP will not require a product key code. All you need to do is Insert the Disc restart the unit then the operating system disc will boot just follow the on screen instruction.

Let us know how it goes!

I figured it out shortly after sending in my question.  The Operating CD was not booting up.  I powered off then on while holding the shift key and f9 kThe CD was then able to boot up. it took 45 minutes to install, but my system is back up and working.  Thank you for your responses. Kudos to all
