Yes, the OS was/is installed on the disk. I don't know if I can reinstall it (only the OEM restore disk that came with that 'puter -eMachine - is available). I think they use Norton Ghost for the image (2 CD's). I think if I try to reinstall, it might have a problem because the new Mobo... or should it go w/o problems?
