Re: Oh my GOD I could KILL MICHAEL DELL

is there any way you can help me, you sound knowledgable and evil.

lol . First, you need an original XP cd. You can go about this 2 ways getting it for free: 1) go to your local comp USA or whatever comp store you'd like and get a windows XP cd. Then go home and burn the CD! take it back and tell them it did not work on your comp, blah blah blah no questions asked customer is always right and get your money back (but you still have the CD at home burnt). Then either use the code provided on the cd you BOUGHT and returned or find one online (very easy as well) and install it on your computer. make 2-3 copies since you might lose one and since they are great to have.

2nd option: if you have a friend that has an original windows XP, burn the cd and then go online and find a CD key or whatever to use it to install it.

both these ways you get the great program but not have to pay the RIP OFF BS price that no computer buyers should have to pay.

Thank You. I will consider it. And for the record, it is not that I mind paying for the software. I bought the laptop with the software on it, and a recovery CD was available for purchase for $10. It has been mere weeks since I bought the computer, which never worked correctly, and they want to charge me 30 times that price for the CD now. It is this I take issue with, and it is this I will not stand for. I bought Windows. "Buy the recovery CD or never get another chance" was not property disclosed to me.

Here's an opportunity for wutangclan (or whatever his name is) to earn his stripes and pass Gambino in the ranks.

Send him after Michael Dell.

i know you dont MIND paying for the software but i still think XP should be standard on all new computers (like a radio in all new cars - just have to have them). Just have a friend burn it though or go "buy" it and return it and get a code online or PM me if you need one and you can use mine if you want. When the system fucks you over, fuck it back harder

Re: Oh my GOD I could KILL MICHAEL DELL

Do a search for XP OEM CDs on the various price compare sites, you should be able to find a legit XP Pro full-install CD with hologram and license for $79-$125. Hopefully you can download the various Dell utilities for power management and shit from Dell's support site.

Is there no hidden Windows recovery partition on the hard drive?
