I want to completly restore my computer from scratch. I don't have a reboot disc anymore. all I have is a disc I used to update xp to vista?

The update disk will do nothing. You will need to get the install disk, either from the company you originally bought the computer from (you should be able to read off the license code they put on your computer somewhere to prove you "own" your copy of Windows, and they'll mail you a disk), or from a friend (but don't use a company-specific CD, like a Toshiba- or Dell-only CD, as this may install the incorrect drivers; use a generic "Windows XP" CD). If neither of these work or are possible for you, then you have four options.

One: Buy a new Windows XP CD (most are online now, but you may be able to find one in local stores). Two: Buy a Windows Vista CD. Three: Buy a Windows 7 CD.

Four: Don't use Windows. For option four, you may want to consider installing Ubuntu (a flavor of Linux) onto your computer. It's free, and all the programs available for it are free and developed by the community.

You can burn a copy of it, and then when running it on your computer, either opt to install it or try it out for a session or two. It's like making the switch from Windows to Mac, there will be differences between the two operating systems that may take a few weeks to get used to, but I feel it's highly easy to use and it comes installed with everything you need to feel right at home. You can read more about it here: http://www.ubuntu.com.

If you have the Vista disc, try putting that one in the computer. It should boot from the disc and give you some options. One of the options should be to reinstall Vista.

I know this works for most operating system cds, but if yours is an upgrade cd it might be different. If that doesn't work, you can try contacting your computer manufacturer and tell them you need the disc for reinstalling Vista. They might be able to get you one at a discount since you already own it.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
