I'll give you $5 to borrow a set of dell XP home edition recovery disks, or buy them for $10.

I have a laptop that died. I'd like to reload the OS and drivers (the key is on the back of the laptop). I'll be happy to do it at your house.

I'll come in, reload the OS and drivers, and leave you with $5 ... or, I'll buy them outright for $10.

Let me know.

if you can come get it today...i have one you can borrow for the weekend. Its just the OS disk though...I dont have the drivers and utilities disk.

Thanks Mv, but I need the drivers. I can't get online without them to download them ...

There's nobody's house you could go to just download a few files on a flash drive and install later?

9/26/2008 11:59:20 AM

That would be fine too ...

9/26/2008 1:24:05 PM

you seem to have access to a computer with internet access right now - why not download the drivers now and do it yourself?

download the ethernet driver so you can get online, put on flash drive

download a windows xp 9 in 1 torrent to reinstall your oem copy of windows


and i dont know that you can use just any old dell recoevery disk with any old dell computer

Thanks Synapse, we'll see how it goes. I might try that. I thought if you had an OEM disk the key would work, but who knows ... I'll try a few things.

you might be able to , but its probably just easier to download a windows xp 9 in 1 (and run virus scan on after downloading)

yeah usually any XP cd with drivers on the side will do
