My unit is a 2001. Are the disks very expensive? Another question I have is that I know that someone took my disk. Could they use it? Wouldn't I be the registered owner on it? Would it even work on someon elses computer?

Prices vary so check around.. No, they couldn't use it as it won't activate and would only be good on a Dell system (this was a Dell recovery disk right??)

Yes, it is a Dell computer. My boyfriend has the same type of computer as me and his start up disk says Windows XP starter pack 1. Could I use his if need be?

Yes, you can, as long as you use your on Product Key. The disk does not matter, only the Key...

Wait! Usually with an OEM recovery cd it will only work if the units are configured exactly the same.3
I also find it difficult to beleive that a 4 year old dell would not have a disk available for it. I think you should call them again.

Every time I call Dell they either do not know what I'm talking about or I spoke to a lady not too long ago and she told me to upgrade my computer and that they do not make that kind of start up disk anymore.
