Need Win 7 reinstall media

Negative. I would get the drivers from support.dell.com. I'm talking about the actual OEM OS Win 7 x64 to use my activation code with.  This unit came with a recovery partition on the hard drive, which you in theory would use Dell Backup utility with, but my recovery partition has become corrupted over the years somehow.

I see and understand.

I want to refer you to one of CC Liaisons to handle this.

What happened to your copy of the key? I guess it was in the partition?
