The OP just didn't make it a hyperlink - copy and paste and all will be
revealed....

Joe,

Is the web link broken for you?

Admittedly - the OPs presentation, grammar and just overall english skills
need work - but there are steps to make said installation media when the
link is followed from the original post. It is (the OP) hard to read,
perhaps a little difficult to comprehend - but the link is clearly there to
further instructions.

I followed said and although I cannot say the instructions there *work*
(haven't tried them) - they are some substantial steps listed there. Or did
you just read the first part and neglect to read the entire post, follow the
link with the step-by-step instructions, etc?

I have a Dell (OEM) with just a recovery disk, so thought I'd try this.
As per instructions, I went into regedit
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup
SourcePath shows (Type) Reg_SZ but there is no path under (Data)

Did you read the post????
