How can I install the Windows 7 operating system on a new hard drive from Dell
XPS 15 (L501X, Late 2010)
Service Tag: 1M6BTN1 | Express Service Code: 3517667533
Wouldn't boot, ran diagnostics and it returned the following error 2000 - 0146. I checked the Dell support and it said to replace hard drive. I purchased the new drive from Dell that was the recommended replacement. The hard drive is now installed and I ran the diagnostics and it checked out okay.
How do I install the operating system (Windows 7 Home Premium) back on the system? I only have Dell Drivers and Utilities disc.
