Well, this is a Dell and no install or recovery disks were provided, but it does
have the hologram sticker with code on it. Presumably Dell didn't pirate the
installation, and I don't want to risk disabling my system, forcing me to have
to buy something new. That program is meant to catch millions of people in a
similar situation, growing their bottom line. It's not about piracy, it's about
their profit.
=================================
We have a Dell desktop at home too that recently had the hard disk
drive (HDD) die, taking Windows with it. Dell didn't ship the machine
with install/recovery disks, but _did_ send them to us after we called
them and insisted. We now have the proper disks to reinstall onto the
replacement HDD.
Anyone with a Dell without these disks should call Dell and insist
that they be sent to you! Sooner or later, you'll need them.
