Default Dell windows 7 Home restore disk NW Houston
I'm in a bit of bind. I need to borrow a Dell Windows 7 Home edition restore disk.
I'm in cypress. Please PM if you can help. In case there is any question it is ok to use a Dell restore disk on a PC with a Dell COA(the little sticker with the key on it).
Thanks guys

A lot of newer dells have the restore built into the hard drive. Try pressing F8 upon boot up during the bios, then press repair my computer. There may or may not be a restore partition.

If its not a Dell OEM CD it will not work. Cant use a retail CD with an OEM COA.

If he is planning on using the Dell COA he is going to need a Dell OEM CD, no matter the circumstances behind the install.
