I fear my HDD is going bad. I can not get a replacement Win7 as I am out of warranty. However, I could still burn a recovery DVD from my laptop. Will a recovery DVD will allow me to reinstall on a new HDD with my OEM key.

Many thanks !

Usually a recovery disk will recover the OS, usually on a new HDD as well. About the OEM key? that is usually built into the recovery DVD, UNLESS you are going to a different PC

thanks for that. Part of the problem is that Dell will not give a Win7 disc if your laptop is out of warranty. Hence, my question whether I can re-install from a recovery disc.

Looks like I can. Cheers
