Dear sir/madam,
Service Tag: <ADMIN NOTE: Service tag removed per privacy policy>
While attempting to dual boot my system with Ubuntu, I accidentally erased Windows 7 during partitioning. I bought my system used from a store and now I need a way to recover Windows 7. I do not want to pay too much for support. I talked to a Dell technician and they said for out of warranty systems they charged $120 for each case. I am not sure how true that is or whether there are exceptions. I am not quite willing to pay $120 for support because I only paid about US$300 for the system. If I were asked to pay US$120 for it, I might as well buy a new one right? It is not that I am not willing to pay for support but if the charge is a significant percentage of the value of the system, then I am not willing to pay for it.
Any help you can give me in this regard will be highly appreciated.
Thank you
Sun
