[U.K.] BOOT disc for Windows XP Home Edition please?

[Dopey]

Does anyone have/know where I can get a free BOOT disc for Windows XP Home Edition? I also need for it to have a formatting utility {so I can totally wipe my HDD} and a partitioning utility so I can partition my HDD after formatting.

I'm using a Packard Bell so it didn't come with a BOOT disc

What do you mean by bootdisc?

If you mean where can you download a Windows XP CD youre out of luck, we will not help you there

I want a disc that will allow for me to first, format my Hard Drive Disk (HDD), secondly, allow me to partition my Hard Drive Disk (HDD) into two virtual one's {like I currently have}, thirdly, allow me to install Windows XP Home Edition.

Packard Bell have a 'Recovery Boot Disk' in the support area of their customer area, but that's no help because:

A) I don't know what it does and there's no details saying specifically what it does

Even if it was of any use, it won't burn to my disc {I do have a DVD-R/RW writer}
