Hi,
I have an IBM tower that came with XP Home on it. I bought an 80GB
drive and want to migrate to it, but I don't know how to put XP Home on it
since it didn't come with a CD. I've used the restore function once to
wipe out a lot of recurring problems I had with XP, and once again it seems
like it needs to be wiped/reinstalled.

Anyone know how I can get this XP Home moved to a CD so I can do a simple
install on the new drive and then migrate my data to it from the current
drive?

You'll have to contact IBM support and request a set of Restore CDs.
Make sure to inform them of the new drive so they can tell you if the
IBM Restore CDs will work with that new drive.
