UNSOLVED
OS cd needed
i got my dell and it came with a bunch of microsoft worksuit cd's, which is great (no sarcasm intended), but i need a cd with windows 2000 or higher on it. If i was never supposed to get one, how can i get one, and i don't mean paying 200 plus dollars for the cd and rights to use it, because i allready purchased the os and rights (since it came with the system) and i just need a cd so that i can re-instal it on a new barebone i'm getting sometime this year.

I should also add that this would be an OEM cd that would only work on Dell hardware and will require the OEM cd key located on your system.
Installing on a new homemade system would require a retail version of Windows 2000.

I would call Dell and re-order the Operating system media that came with your system. The media should only cost around $25. that's only a guess based on what I pay for other Microsoft media kits.
the part numbers I have for a Dell Windows 2000 install cd incl. SP4 are:
On the CD itself: H1500
On the wrapper that it came in: 0F1449
You won't find these dell part numbers (or any other part number you find on a piece of Dell equipment) by searching their website you'll have to call them.
