I have and XPS 14 L421X and its going to need a new hdd at some point. I am wondering how to prepare, and make sure I have all necessary things for reinstalling windows 8. I have the product key, but I don't have the reinstall disk. As the xps 14 doesn't have an optical drive, I need to get the install onto a flash drive. I have no idea how to do that. Should I try to contact windows for that or can I create an install drive from my pc? also do I need to have all of the drivers saved onto another flash drive so that I can use the computer properly. I'm having trouble figuring out exactly what I need to prepare myself for my replacement in the future.
