First of all, fuck paying for software.

Second of all the virus software "FREE AVG " is perfectly suitable for anything Norton does and guess what, its free.

Pirating windows is your best bet. Though lately I've been having issues with keycodes that I have generated in the past - do not get a volume license edition of windows - make sure its just "XP Pro"

And windows XP has its own system restore feature Programs>accessories>system tools>system restore

Re: Oh my GOD I could KILL MICHAEL DELL

I would talk to manager again at Dell, you bought a laptop and it automatically has it installed.
Gateway prompted me like every time I used my laptop to burn my recovery discs that they provide. All of the software on my new gateway is licensed to me and the same with your computer.
The guy sounds completely incorrect on this. File a lawsuit, have them served, takes a few minutes and itll get their attention

Re: Oh my GOD I could KILL MICHAEL DELL

please explain what you mean by this?

Most laptops have some proprietary software on them that didn't come bundled with Windows from Microsoft, the manufacturer adds their own extras and includes them on the restore disc. These are the little goodies you usually see down in the System Tray in the lower right corner of the screen, by the clock. Things like a battery meter. And mfg-specific help files. Isn't there like a Dell Help Desk or something that has hardware-specific help information? Surely it's not just a plain-vanilla Windows installation.

this I do not know

Did the system come with any written documentation? A small manual? A few cut sheets with instructions? Did you read any of them? One of them would explain how to restore the system in case of a problem. If you didn't get a CD with the system, then they HAD to include that stuff on the hard drive.

What size is your hard drive supposed to be? And what size does Windows say it is? Is there, say, about 700M-1G missing? Like, if your hard disc is supposed to be 20G, but Windows says that your C:\ partition is only 18G? That extra missing space is taken up by the contents of a Windows restore CD hidden on your drive. There should be instructions on how to get to it, either in the printed documentation that came with the system, or in the Dell help desk stuff that should be installed in Windows. It's usually a matter of holding down one of the F keys when you boot the system.
