How to make a legal copy of windows xp home edtn refurbished pcs?

A friend bought a refurbished laptop, which was supposed to have the operating system preloaded on it. However after looking at me I noticed, it's loaded with windows xp pro renovated instead of windows xp home PC reconditioned computers. The proof of the license certificate of Authenticity on the bottom of the laptop is for PC Windows xp home edtn renovated. The disc that came with the laptop is the version currently installed on it. What I need is a disc to install the version on the laptop and do the work for her. How can I get the correct copy and what should I do with the bad copy?

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Try to contact PC manufacturing and request a recovery media.

Also check with their tech support to see if there is a "Recovery" partition (long shot a renovated could include replacement of the hard disk).
