Long story short (totally my own fault) I accidentally deleted my windows partitions. Dell was kind enough to overnight a Windows 8 CD (I have a new Inspiron desktop that had Win 8 preloaded). Upon booting my two usable options are "install" and "reset". Install immediately gives an error of "windows key doesn't match any images". "Reset" returns an error of "A required drive partition is missing".
I made a bootable CD of partition magic and created a primary NTFS, formatted, etc. and get same partition error.
What am I missing?
