Recently I received a customer's computer full of viruses. Rather than chase them all down I went with a full reinstall. Sadly, the computer used XP MCE and I can't use the recovery partition now that I've wiped the original partition. A buddy gave me some Media Center discs but when I installed from them I could not use the license key. Is my only option a dell recovery disc or is there anything I can try? Thanks!

Your only option is to call DELL and purchase a recovery disk. Either that, or call the customer and admit your mistake, then ask them if THEY have the recovery disk. :D
