acer travelmate p643-m-6846-14-core i5 3210m

I be sure zip on PC so please bear with me. I have a laptop of acer travelmate 4150. I've had it for about two years now and is habituated to mainly for browsing the web, word and excel. When I came back, the screen was zero and it says: blahblahblah/path/system/blah. DLL is subverted and it says I have to insert the boot disk. Problem: I do not have the boot disk. I did some delving and found a "pro-Acer recovery CD" who "says" he will recover my files as well. I have the xp cd, I can use it. is I should buy the revival cd or is there something else I can do. Thank you.

I use Windows XP now presumably 10 year of its existence. Jumps of Vista and Windows 7 because it has always worked for me. But now Windows XP is in fine officially declared obsolete and Microsoft generously provides Windows 8 upgrade for only €29, - it is mores to change. The "old" laptop. Still a little afraid of the transition, I reach to try a few things first on an old laptop. It is an ACER Travelmate 2410 with a 1 Ghz Intel Celeron and 1 GB of recall running Windows XP. 80 GB hard drive is partitioned into a C D, two 40 GB in enormousness and using FAT32 drive. It appears for the first installation Windows8 on a FAT32 intend with only 16 GB of free storage is probably not a good estimate.
