Follow the guide(s) below depending on what Operating System. Also use the DBAN to ensure everything is securely wiped before proceeding. If you need more help mention what OS you are trying to install on each of them. i.e. what is the sticker at the side/bottom of each unit say: • XP Profession • XP Home • XP Media Centre Edition (Unlikely) • Vista Home Basic • Vista Home Premium • Vista Business Edition • Vista Ultimate Edition • 7 Home Premium • 7 Professional • 7 Ultimate Also don't mention the service tags on the forums it is a violation of the forum rules. Use the green pencil to edit the post. However looking at the Service Tags it appears that each of the systems had XP Professional preinstalled. Follow the XP guide however you will need a Dell XP Professional disc to proceed. If you don't have the disc already (from any other Dell Systems with XP Professional) then you may purchase the disc from eBay and use it to install windows on all 3 of the systems.
My daughter, an employee of Mitre Corp., purchased 3 computers from Mitre that were outdated for their needs. Mitre was required, for National Security reasons, to wipe the hard drives, as well as any other means of storage, completely clean. I need to install OS's in order to render the machines useful to family members. The machines are: 1. Laptop Model D810, Service Tag<ADMIN NOTE:Service tag removed per privacy policy> 2. Desktop OptiPlex 745, Service Tag <ADMIN NOTE:Service tag removed per privacy policy> 3. Tower OptiPlex GX270, Service Tag <ADMIN NOTE:Service tag removed per privacy policy> How do I obtain the required software?
