Hello,
I have friend who bought a Dell Dimenson 1100 desktop. Her windows crashed. Since she did not receive any load discs with her computer she bought a non-Dell WindowsXP load disc. It will not load the OS system. She keeps getting blue screen with a blinking curser and that's it. She has tried several methods to install but none work.
Does anyone have a soluction? She bought the computer from a reseller. When she contacted Dell Support she was told that the Tag number was registered to someone else's name. I figure that either the computer is a repo and resold or it was stolen and sold by the reseller. Either way she paid $3000 for it. I checked on the Dell support site and the Tag is registered and the warraty expired Aug 2007. This lady does not have the money to buy another computer. I think she got fleeced by the reseller. Does anyone have a solution or suggestions?
