Hacking System Recovery CD?

Ok, here's my situation. A while back I formatted the HD on my HP 750 Athlon system so I could upgrade from Win 98. I did a clean full install of Win XP Home. I didn't really care about the bundle software, but I ran into one major problem. I lost my damn dvd filters! So my DVD drive is basically a cd-rom drive now. Anyone know of a way to trick the Software Recovery CD into thinking I'm still running the original configuration? I mean, I'm not trying to STEAL any software or anything. It's rightfully mine since it came on my system originally. I just updated my version of windows. I'd like to have my Win DVD again, but will settle for just the DVD filters. Anyone got any ideas? I just can't justify going out and paying like $50 for a program I technically already OWN. Any help appreciated.

speak to the original hardware/software vendor. There should be some record of your transaction. Worst case scenario is that you have to pay for it, but it won't be top-whack if the salesman's prepared to give it away to make a sale...
