WTD: Dell C500 Restore Disk (HELP...)

Hi guys,

Hoping someone here can help me. I've got a Dell C500 laptop sitting
in my cupboard that I need to put to use. However, I cannot install a
legit OS at the moment as the Dell Restore disk has seemed to have
developed a fault. When working, I could easily get a fresh install
on Windows 98SE.

I have a COA attached to the laptop so just need a copy of the
restore disk, if by any chance someone here has one lying around.
Obviously, would pay for time and resources.

Alternatively, I would consider a XP/Win2K COA and CDR, but it would
have to be dirt-cheap (maybe a Dell specific offering?) - a simple
restore disk is my favoured option.

Can pay via Band Transfer, Paypal or others - please reply here or to
my email (mind the spam) if you can help.

Regards,
