Inspiron 1545 - Replaced HDD - Re-install factory image?
Hi Guys,
A simple question. I have replaced the hard drive of my Inspiron 1545 with an SSD. The laptop is out of warranty and i do not have the original discs.
I would like to reinstall the dell factory image onto my laptop. I have been doing alot of reading on the topics of ghosting, imagex and the likes but was wondering what facility Dell offer for replaced HDDs. I personally imagine a simple world where the OEM disc can be shipped at request and I can simply reinstall with the original key. I have access to the previous hard drive and its recovery partition but would like a nice simple option for reinstall. If anyone knows one it would be greatly appreciated.
The original drive runs Windows Vista SP2 OEM Edition and I have recorded my OEM license key.
Kind Regards,
Sam.

Hi Jesse,
Unfortunately I Live in Australia, And those backup discs appear to be only for the United States. Is there a way they can be shipped here? or any other location to order the discs from?
