After total HD failure had to fit new Hdd. The manufacturers recovery disc got XP loaded again but the XP help files did not go on the new disc drive during the process. Does anyone know how to get them installed or how to get them off the recovery disc for installation. M/Soft don't seem to supply or offer method.
when you get to the recovery console type help and a list will appear.
