| | I would restore the licensed OS which came with the computer since it adds approx $100+ value. If not be sure to point out to buyer that it comes with a Vista license which can be reinstalled with the Product Key for the life of the machine.. |

Attachment 208149click to enlarge Hi Greg, Just wanted to say thanks for the instructions above, you saved my bacon! Have Dell Inspiron netbook and installed Win 8 for a laugh. However meant I couldn't do system reimage from the Recovery Drive as I couldn't access it. Used your guide for EasyBCD after reinstalling from a generic Win 7 disc. A couple of pointers though for Win 7 1. Once generic Win 7 is installed go disk management in the control panel and give the Recovery Drive a drive letter (I used R  2. There's no boot.wim in Win 7, it's WinRe.wim Other than that it worked a dream! Cheers Sudman |
