You will not be able to do a repair install with a Dell CD, it's locked to a Dell bios. You can try the IDE controller trick as outlined in the Tips and Tricks thread - if that doesn't work you will have to buy a new OS. Note that using that Dell preload on a different computer is a violation of the EULA. There is a very good chance that even if you do get it running, you will not be able to get a reactivation.
In the future, please continue the original thread instead of starting a new one. Thank you. |
