&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;My sister bought an inspiron B120&amp;nbsp;which used it for a while and decided to give it to me as a birthday present. i've used the laptop for 4 months and got infected with a virus and messed up the registry. now i can't log on to my computer. i asked my sister if she has the recovery cd or the OS cd and she says that it didn't came with one when she purchased it. now i can't use my computer and i can't reformat it because we don't have the OS cd. on the bottom of the laptop is the product key sticker of windows xp so it means that the computer should have came with an OS cd and i think the OS is already part of the price she paid for the computer, right? so where can i get that cd or does it mean that i have to purchase another OS cd? i had an acer computer before and it came with a recovery cd and system cd with all the preloaded softwares on it. whenever the hard drive crashes, i could easily revive the computer by running the recovery cd. my sister has a new toshiba laptop and it came with a recovery cd.so is it only dell that doesn't ship their computers with a recovery cd or OS cd? my sister buying one of your computers is probably a mistake.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://en.community.dell.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=29988" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
