Where can I download a recovery cd?

[molechkillgore]

I found a Dell Dimensions 8100 PC tower at a yard sale, and it's complete (that is to say it hasn't been "gutted out"), but I am lacking (and am in need of) the original system recovery cd that came with the PC.

Is there anywhere (website) I can download this cd (and burn it on a CD-R)? I want to get this baby back to it's "factory fresh" condition...

(If anyone has a copy that they can burn me, that would be great) . . . or do I have to order one somewhere? I dunno, *shrugs* let me know!

i don't think dell supplys a "recovery cd" they give you 1 windows cd, and about 50 other CD's with drivers and software on it

Yes, dell is the only supplier of that. If you just install windows with any windows cd you can then go to dell's website support and type in the serial number on the back of the computer and it will list all the drivers for you to download. That is, if they are all the factory parts.
