I strongly suspect harddrive failure on my old XPS 420. Data recovery is not an issue. However, seeing as how I don't feel like purchasing a brand new OS, is there any way I can transfer the installation of Windows Vista to a new harddrive? I'm told that Dell will send me an installation disc to do so, but how do I get such a disc, and is there any other way?
I'm considering ghosting the harddrive onto another one and using the recovery partition to nuke it into a fresh install, but would that even work???
Thanks
