Notebook restore disk?

[macbeth]

A friend of mine has a twinhead notebook. And needs to reformat it. The problem is that the restore disk is missing. So can i install windows xp on it? Will it work? How about the hardware drivers for the notebook? Where can i get them and how do i install them? And is there away i can get a copy of the restore disk?

you can install xp on it no problem as for the drivers and stuff just do a windows update after you install xp i had to help my buddy out and he didnt have his restore disk either i just installed xp and did windows update it turned out fine.
