youd need to do a full back-up of the computer. just copying files to a cd wont work because there are registry files that are needed to run them. check to see if there is a restore place that windows has created back around the date when your uncle purchased the computer. you wont need the disc for that. outside of that, if you dont have good back-up software, have a place to put the back-up and dont have an XP cd your SOL as far as im concerned
