OK, well to keep it short; hard drive went dead in my laptop. I bought a new hard drive, installed it, and, well.... Now what?
When I turn the computer on it says the following: "Reboot and select proper Boot device or insert Boot Media in selected Boot device and press a key"
So I went and put the "Drivers And Utilities" CD in, and a message popped up saying to call Dell. So I did, and Dell told me "It sounds like you need an operating system and your warranty is expired."
Dell is a corporation, they would tell me anything to get my money. So can someone confirm that I do need a new OS? And also I have a product key for Windows 7 Home premium, so is their anyway that I can just somehow get that for free since I have the code?
Thanks for reading this all!
