Help! My Alienware r2 m14x says missing operating system. Can't find disks to boot from!
My cousin who said he could help my laptop ended up erasing everything using a program that wasn't alien respawn.
Now I can't boot from any os, I'm not sure where the discs are to boot from either. The hardware is all fine.
What do I do?! On top of that I'm selling the laptop a I'm moving to Australia and can't take it with me in a few days!
Help meeeee!

If Windows 7 see Windows Reinstallation Guide/A Clean Install of Windows 7 using a downloadable Digital River .iso:

If its Windows 8.0/8.1 unfortunately you need to procure media from Dell as Microsoft never made a download available; we don't know why as Microsoft's policies makes installation of Windows 8.1 very difficult. Procurement of media from Dell may take more than a few days due to shipping times.
