I recently won a new computer that had everything deleted
off of it. It is a Dell GX1. I used to have a Gateway
and had all the discs for that. I received no new discs
with the Dell. Do I have to purchase an all new windows
installation cd? My old ones don't work. What all would
I need to purchase? Are there any free downloads. The
furthest my computer goes is an A:/> prompt. Help!

there are no free versions of windows
but for maybe $50 or so you could get a win98 cd on ebay

if you want a free operating system...there's always linux
