    ken.l,

    Contact Dell and request the OS reinstallation CD. See this post.

    It's unclear why you are so upset. Unless you have had your system for a long enough time that it is no longer under warranty you should have no problem whatsoever getting an OS reinstallation CD. At least, nobody else who has tried to do so has encountered any difficutly and normally receive the CD within a week.

    Absolutely, that's why I provided a link to here in my first post. (I am not responsible for other board members' posts, and quite often neither are they.)

    I sent for mine via e-mail and received the disks in 30 HOURS at no charge.
