Media center disk

[Hayley-K]

My neighbours have a problem with their laptop and they took it to the store with the purple shirts to get it sorted. Before the store would even look at it (the spacebar doesnt work) my neighbours were told they had to pay £60 for a system restore and a spyware scan?!

They gave me a ring and I said I would sort it for them, after having the machine its virused to the extent of needing a fresh install, as it wont even system restore. I wanted to put the legitiment copy of media center back on it for them in the case it still needed to go back to the shop but I have no CD.

Is there anyway I can get hold of one as the torrent sites are not really coming up with the goods? its a bit stupid that machines now dont always come with the windows disk as you paid for it, it just seem an easy way for these companies to make a bit of money out of an unsuspecting member of the public.

Thanks

Hayley

Hi there;

If you're talking about n00bworld, I wouldn't give them £60 for a system restore and spyware scan. I agree with you on the system restore thing it's silly the way compaines stick it on a partition of the disk insted of optical media. In my experience they wont just give you a new one.

If you add me to MSN I'll help you with the MCE bussiness.
