danger

Screw it, i wont be doing it, its not even my computer. a friend wants to fix it and install the OS back but doesnt want a pirated copy or ubuntu. he can go out and pay for the licence.

alright so i deleted my recovery partition from the dell inspiron 1501 but would like to go back to factory default, i am not able to make recovery cd or order as i am cheap, would i be able to download a OEM dell image and use the key on the bottom of the laptop? thanks
