i feel like a complete n00b ere not someone that been fiddlin wiv pc's for 12years,but anyway, gf's dell inspiron 9300 is really overdue a complete erase and re-doing. Dell aint helping AT ALL cos its outside its warranty. whats the best way to get hold of a Windows XP disc tht will work with her OEM license on the machine? |

either there will be a partition set with the install ready on it. Or just use any xp disc whether its home or pro edition with the oem key on your machine.

Too late for ordering an XP disk . Most pirate OEM's are for IBM machines and won't work for you . Not to mention the malware you would get .
