I'm looking for Dell restore CD for Windows XP. The CD's have been mislaid somewhere a while back and cannot be found.

The PC has a licence key on the side and according to a Dell tech I chatted to, he said that if I got a restore CD then its all above board and legal as the license goes with the PC not the CD as it would have been registered to that PC originally.

Its an Optiplex Gx270 and from what I believe most CD's from PCs around that time will work and I can download the drivers from the Dell website.

Anyone got one lying around?

Optiplex would be Pro I'd imagine as it's a business machine
