Windows XP iso?? DBAN deleted everything

[Gatorman]

Hey all. I wanted to sell my old HP laptop so I figured that I needed to wipe everything. I heard about this program called DBAN so I downloaded it and ran it. It did 100% what it was supposed to do but it also deleted Windows from the PC. Now at the startup screen there is a flashing cursor and it flashes No Operating System Found. Can anyone help me please.

You're ready to sell the laptop. That was what was supposed to happen. The person who buys it can install whatever OS they want on it.

You should have XP serial on a sticker somewhere on the laptop. Then you can order the recovery disk from here: http://www8.hp.com/us/en/support-drivers.html

If you want the laptop to come with a OS then all you need is a windows CD. Even if you don't have a serial it just says "This copy of Windows is not genuine" at the bottum right hand of the screen.

If you don't mind that your OS is not genuine then go find an ISO on ThePirateBay.
