Greetings--
In my experience with Dell, their computers usually are accompanied by a set of restore disks (or maybe, lately) a restore partition. The COA and license number are included and automatically entered when doing a reinstall. Futher, such disks are "paired" with the computer and will not work on other machines.
Sincerely,
Paul A. Shippert

I'm curious why is Dell different? I ask because I purchased a refurbished
Dell laptop a year ago which, except for a bad virus episode, it's run
flawlessly but, it may a reinstall eventually.

You need the product ID code unless you have a Dell.

Is anyone else having issues getting legitimate CD keys to work with Windows
XP reinstalls?
I have 4 computers down right now because Micro$oft thinks they are
pirated!!!
I have called the 800 and attempted to re-register but no luck. Is this a
Windows7 conspiracy? Am I the only one?
If anyone has a contact where a person can talk to a human at Microsoft
please share!
