| 44767 | 2002-04-20 06:08:00 | Hi, I placed a ad recently on a similar issue. Now I have one question. I have a IBM complaint letter ready to be sent ... since they gave me a new HDD. It came without win98se cd (fine) but they refused to reinstall or give me a cd without $65+gst on new hdd. Anyway .. I have that sticker on the bottom of the laptop. He has like a 16 odd digit thingee ... can this be used to install win98se?? Or what is those numbers for ?? I think I tried this with win2k and setup would not accept it .... RC |

| 44768 | 2002-04-20 06:46:00 | The product key for 98se looks like this 'XZXZX-XZXZX-XZXZX-XZXZX-XZXZX'. On last count that is unmistakably more than 16 charactors. Perhaps the sticker is your serial No? | Guest (0) | ||
| 44769 | 2002-04-20 11:41:00 | Hi RC, I brought a computer just under a year ago, and didn't get any hard copies of Windows with mine either.... It seems like this is a pretty wide-spread thing. How old is your laptop, and is it still under warrantee? I spent over a month negotiating with Packard Bell for copies of my software (in anticipation that at some stage my HDD might pack it in) - and got absolutely no where..... Finally, Noel Leemings had it couriered to me within 24hours of contacting them directly! I would suggest that you go back to your retailer and jump up and down, VERY LOUDLY $65 plus GST is a freekin rort Good Luck, ALAN :-) |

| 44770 | 2002-04-20 23:07:00 | pardon me, its $75+gst (not 65+gst). yes its still on warranty. helpdesk on phone was like tallking to a brick wall, now letter to IBM. I bought in USA so cannot complain to actual shop i'll do it to ibm since has a intl warranty. that twenty digit MS win98se sticker on laptop what is it for ?? ok, maybe its 20 i didnt count at all, just did a gestimate. tried the win2k sticker on PC and tried to install didn't seem to work, well may be this is OEM sticker and i tried on my own retail CD. Should it work technically??? RC |
