Original Install software is probably on a partition on your hard drive. Better yet, If you have a decent CPU, upgrade memory and install Windows7. Mine is like a new machine now.
Yes, PC companies now a days, place a copy of the OS on a partition on the hard drive but more often then not that partition gets compromised and that copy of the OS is toast / not usable. ALWAYS, the best policy when getting a new PC to get a copy of the OS on a CD or USB stick from the manufacturer soon after that new PC's purchase.
