well it didnt work

tiny went into liquidation and owed loads of money, time bought the name and not the company so the company doesnt exist

so basically i am screwed and theres nothing anybody can do about it

they just gave me some stupid phone number

so basically theres loads of people out there like me or that have problems and theres nothing anyone can do

they say my grandad should have bought some package and the disc would have been supplied

its discusting you pay £700 for a pc and then have to fork out more for an IMPORTANT DISC that should come included

my grandad is like 80 if he had been told he needed that disc he would have bought it

i am sooooooooooooo angry hasnt anyone had the same problem

i just rang tiny the best they can do is a reclaim disc for £60 which i can use over and over again

looks like i will have to do it

i suppose its best in the long run cos i can use it as often as i like

while you can buy xp from ebay quite cheaply you may then find yourself with driver problems depending on the hardware that tiny have used. the restore (or reclaim) disks are by far the easiest way to go IMHO as it will include all the correct hardware drivers required for your machine

this is what I was talking about earlier regarding the sony recover disks

yeah i think i will do that then its the easiest option the only discs that came with the pc are the 5 windows ones which contain word etc and your system and driver cd

ill ring them back and order it, least then i can use it over and over again

cheers guys for helping me out, trust my grandad to buy from a company that went bust lol

nvr mind eh
