    I got a problem i recently found out that my windows disk broke. I have a dell computer its about 8 years old. When ever my comp would get slow or not work properly i would reformat the hdd start over. Just pop the disk in and reinstall a new copy of windows and make the comp new again. Well i cannot do this anymore cause the disk is missing a huge chunk out of it. Im so upset about it cause i need to reformat my HDD how can i do this? What do i need to buy and how much will it cost me?

    the key stuck to your tower is the one you need.use that with the disk copy.
