Depends - you often have to pay extra to get the disks. Most PCs don't actually have a physcial copy of XP included when you buy it.

i have a packard bell (dont laugh) with XP home installed when i 1st got it. There was a thing on teh desktop to produce your own restore disks.
But when i came to have to restore it i couldnt find the disks i had made. So i phoned dixons where i baught the comp and they sent me a new set through the post.
Dont thing they charged me but im not 100% if they did was only a couple fo quid.
