WTB Dell Win MCE disk

RedXXX · 10-07-2006, 02:54 AM

I lost my old one, and I need a new one. If anyone has one I will be more than happy to make a deal for one. Dell wants me to buy a whole new copy for $150. I hate them enough as it is and I'm not letting them take my money.

You really only need a duplicate of it. The disc its self doesnt matter, Its just the Authentication key on the side of your system. However, since you own a Dell, you will need a Dell, Toshiba, or Compaq (or newegg, glwts) disc, since Gateway discs check for a gateway bios before loading setup (its really gay)

Any MCE disc will work, just enter your CDKEY when it asks, if it doesnt work, use the cracked one, and change it manually using the Windows Activation Tool. I Garuntee you that it probably wont activate right off the bat, as a result, make sure your key has changed, then call the microsoft activation hotline. They will be like "Zomfg real key u have lol" and give you the autentication number, and add you to the server. Then it will always work, even if you reformat. Ive done this with 6+ XP Home, Pro, and MCE boxes.

The point:

Dont buy it, download it.

Now where can I download a legit and not cracked version, which normally has its glitches and lacks the ability to have software updates.

Ask around for someone who has a copy of the disc, and have them buzz one off for you.

I have gateway only MCE.
