        What did Dell say? Can't you order recovery disks from them even if the warranty has expired?

            Interesting...certainly something to consider when purchasing a computer.

            What did the additional "warranty" cost?

              I've managed to 'download' Windows Media Center operating system, and burnt both disks onto my own disks, now how can i make it so that my computer when i boot it up boots from the disks i've created? Thanks

                I managed to fix it myself :D

                I found a copy of Media Center and burned it onto a disk, and then changed the setup to put from  Disk and then partitioned my hard-drive following guides on the internet and installed Media Center onto the computer and now everything works fine :D

                Thanks so much guys  :)
