Windows XP Backup CD Question

DjSkeets,

The Windows XP Reinstallation CD contains a complete copy of Windows XP and nothing else. On the other hand, the PC Restore feature on the hard disk restores the system to its "as shipped" state, including everything the system came with (and nothing that has been added since).

Bear in mind that the capability of generating an operating system CD is not available on newer systems (see this post).

Ok so I probably will have to order one from dell then since the notebook is fairly new (9300)

Right?

DjSkeets,

Correct. With luck you should be able to get it through chat or email within a couple of days. See this.

Hey,

I tried contacting them through the chat but it says im not a home or business user but I went through the process of giving my address, name, tel number and such over the phone when I ordered my system. how come my Order Number isnt working?

This is weird.

Woops, it was on the American Website, im from canada so thats the problem haha... I just registered an account on the canadian website, but cant seem to find an online chat support for the canadian part, do u know if one exists?

Thanks,

Chris

Hi:

I purchased from Dell in Canada, and the US chat works for me. If you just purchased,
it sometimes takes a few days for your purchase to be registered so as to enable you
to use chat.
