    Okay..

    Im in quite the pickle..if anyone would be awesome enough to do this.. I'd be hella grateful lol.

    Okay.

    So, I purchased a used Dell 1545 off of eBay that had everything with it except the Operating System. I figured - no problem. I've ordered recovery disks with absolutely NO problem for other manufacturers. What a mistake that was.

    I got in contact with Dell. They insisted that they need to know the original owners name in order for everything to be transferred so I can get the disks. Only one problem - I can't.

    See.. I bought it off of eBay from a seller that seems to me like its a liquidation center. It says its affiliated with Best Buy.. so I assume Best Buy sells damaged things (part of the back was broken off.. but I got the laptop today and its in pristine condition. Not bad for $250 lol) and then they sell it on eBay. So its virtually impossible for me to track down the original owner and Dell won't budge AT ALL in this.

    So.. if anyone has a set of Windows Vista disk from their Dell 1545 .. and would be willing to send it to me so I may install Windows.. I'll send it back.. pay for postage and all of that.

    Im sorry if this is against the rules (I dont know?) .. but it has a valid Windows Vista key.

    I can make you a copy- which Ver do you need.

    Last you can transfer the waranty. go to
    Dell - Ownership Transfers

    Just put in the service tag and express service code for the previous owner put in John Doe. Fill in your info - its worked everytime except once. and the one time it did not work it said the info could not be verified and had to be reviewed - 2 weeks later i got an email that the xfer was complete.

    Let me know what you need and i can mail out to you
