Somebody please help me! This website is frustrating and
I really just have a simple question & I dont want to pay
$35 for an answer!

My computer crashed about a month ago. It is a DELL that
had XP installed. I have spent three weeks on the phone
with DELL, who now says I have to re-install XP. The
problem is we have moved and some of our things were lost
& I think the XP CD was one of the lost items. I asked my
brother to borrow his XP disc and he says that with XP,
you cant reinstall from a disc that isnt registered to
your computer. So how do I get a replacement CD that will
work for my computer?? Please help. If you have an anwer,
can you email (e-mail address removed) because I might not be
able to find my way back to here!

Thanks.
 
If your Dell computer came with Windows XP preinstalled,
then you'll have to contact Dell and request a replacement
of the Dell Windows XP Reinstallation CD.
