Windows 7 DVD provided with Dell XPS L501X seems to be damaged

esserji · Dec 18, 2013

Hi,
I am trying to re-install windows 7 in my XPS L501X Laptop. I got a DVD of Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit with the package but it seems to be damaged. While going for re-installation, the DVD player can't read files from it.
Can anybody tell me how to get a duplicate DVD?

Contact dell. They should be able to provide you with a new disk or at least assistance, especially if it still under warranty.

Thanks a lot Hawkeye22 for hearing me. Do you have any idea about ho much they will be charging for it? By the way, my laptop is already out of warranty.

You can download a copy from here and burn to disk:

Select the appropriate .iso file and burn to DVD with burning software (use option "burn image to disk")

You'll need the product key to activate, which should be on a sticker on the underside of the laptop.

Is your laptop's system recovery partition intact though? If you press F8 on bootup you should see an option at the very top "Repair your Computer" which will lead to a set of options including Dell Recovery. This would restore the full factory default installation (just as it came out of the box).

Thanks a ton SchizTech. This would be a real help for me. Oh yes, i have the product key underside my laptop. I am going to try the System Recovery method too.

Thanks again mate
