thanks mate. it worked eventually. had to download a few files seperately as it asked for them during install. was a very rough install but it works as a whole now. that will do. send it back and never look at it again.

This is why I've never bought a name brand pc. They're cool when you have the restore disc with all the drivers but lose that and you're screwed.

Holy s*** something I suggested actually worked.
