Help Installing New SSHD-N5050
Hello I have physically installed a New Seagate ST2000LX001 hard drive in my N-5050. I can not find my original Dell Recovery Disk. I installed the new drive due to failure of old drive so could not created one. I tried to use the dell recovery to create one(form another device). When entering my service tag info dell states I am out of warranty, therefore not available... Not sure what to do next. I don't have a problem purchasing something needed but I don't know what to get??? I do have my windows 7 product key. Your help would be much appreciated.

Thank you for your message. I see that the system is shipped with Windows 7. There is no more official image of Windows 7 available with Dell & Microsoft. The system is out of warranty.
You can reinstall the OS only if you have created a recovery drive.
Thanks,
Sreejith
