No Recovery Disc - Dell GX260 Desktop
Hello All,
I have a bit of problem regarding the above mentioned PC, the H/Drive has gone to a better place (R.I.P) and i have no XP os recovery disk for this system, i have contacted Dell support for a recovery disk copy for this model but they were not forthcoming (although they were very helpful) the end result of the conversation was that i should (1) Lend an OEM copy off a friend, Search Ebay for a copy, buy a new retail xp lcence or search the internet. I have looked at all options including spending hours searching the net - (None found) and the possibllity of purchasing a new xp licence - (Not practical at moment) . I am hoping that somebody out there can help me out preferably by loaning, selling etc a GX260 recovery disc, otherwise i will end up with the most expensive paper-weight in history! Any sound advice or offers regarding obtaining these disks would be greatly appreciated.
Many Thanks to those who comment. :emotion-2:
