I'm trying to install a new hard drive in my friend's PC - a Dell - after his HD died. No problem with with putting it in the box, etc - but I can't load my HP Recovery Discs onto the Dell. Assuming HP has some sort of lock preventing this. My friend, a retard at best, didn't make recovery disc copies when his PC was new. So - anyone got a copy of XP I can use to load an OS onto this thing? Know if Dell will supply him with recovery dics if he calls them? (I'd be amazed if they did - but ya never know). Let me know, Thanks!!!!!!!!
