Thanks for the fast response...the answer is no. I went against my better judgement where I bought the laptops, however; I did create the recovery disks - BUT - that doesn't even work. Please forgive my ignorance, but I'm not too familiar with this OS or laptops - could it be an issue where the hard drive just crashed. When I ran the program to detect hardware devices, it stated it couldn't find the hard drive. I had questioned a few IT guys at work about how hot it was getting to me didn't seem normal but they stated it's common for laptops to run hot....I was going to attempt to get an external drive to stick the hard drive in and see if I could get it to boot from the working laptop...I know it is a SATA hard drive and just heard someone say that Dell has been known to put in cheap equipment (not coming from me everyone has their opinions, don't want to anger anyone)...so the LONG answer to your simple question is NO I do not have the Windows 7 CD, thanks Peggy

No problem we will create a recovery console USB
Download the following three programmes to your desktop : I will PM the ISO links as I have restricted bandwidth on my dropbox

2. Windows 7 RC
3. Farbar Recovery Scan Tool
Insert the USB stick Then run Rufus
Select the ISO file on the desktop via the ISO icon.
Press Start Burn
Then copy FRST to the same USB
Insert the USB into the sick computer and start the computer. First ensuring that the system is set to boot from USB
