XPS 8100 hard drive crashed

My computer failed  to boot.  I can not locate my backup.  Do i have to purchase a new Windows 7 operating system or can I somehow obtain one from Dell free?  And will any hard drive connect, or does it have to have connections specific to Dell?

Hi,

Please run the diagnostics on the computer by following the steps mentioned in the video below and check if there is any issue with the hardware on your system.

Depending upon the result we can check if you need the operating system disc.
