You must have a Windows installation disc.
Or you need to use the onboard recovery options.
The resource/drivers disc is useless by itself.

You need to contact Dell to purchase a set of recovery media (about $25). The product key will not be needed (and won't work with a non-Dell OEM recovery media set).
