Well I am sure that there isnt a partion *I low level formatted it*. I have a set of oem discs, but they don't have the actual os on them. I know someone that just bought the same brand pc so I am gonna pay them a visit to see what they have. As for half price..... I wish. The local mentalitiy is * I have the only one and it's worth full price*. Online, is the only place you can get discounts around here. I haven't tried getting her to call the OEM to see if they will send another one. I suppose that could be next. I figured since the pc was 3 or 4 years old they wouldn't. Thanks for your help.
