You have no idea what the User did to this machine which is why they asked you to fix it ...Oh I'm not blaming dell. It's just what I call all dell's ju8st ask computeruler!!Useless bashing...just my observation.That was unnecessary.

You may hate them less if you understand many Dell users try to help instead of just ranting about the company. Thee is a guide on eBay about how to use Dell Recovery CDs to restore XP to a Dell that did not come with the CD or it got lost. I have a Dell and it will let you do a repair from the Dell OEM CD, which I got on eBay. And yes, my Dell has a COA and product key. I did install dual-boot XP on it. Either install can be repaired. But first I made a backup with a suitable program, and I am sure you know what that involves. Now if you do your job well and the customer is happy, you can expect him to pay a fair PRICE for your expert help. And if you are a processional, you will not say anything about your personal opinion of Dell. Or loose a customer. Also, I think the Dell support site is among the better ONES I have seen. Can we stop discussing our opinions about dells please? I'm sorry I mentioned that in my post. It won't happen again.
