WIN CE - Help required - see inside

[nosey]

I'm searching for some help and advice on behalf of a friend of mine...


He has a small 'notebook' type laptop which we believe had Win CE loaded on
it (not sure what version)

For some unknown reason, the HD (all 2 gig of it!) has been erased along
with, of course, the OS.


My questions are......

Can a version of this OS be obtained from anywhere? (I asked him if there
was a code stuck to the laptop as is normal for laptops with
preloaded/embedded software but there isn't one)

If it's not possible to get this particular OS, is there an alternative??

The laptop/notebook was purchased from Ebay and the original seller has
offered to load OS again at a charge of £30 so I guess there must be
something WE can do.


Many thanks all


Kevin


PS - I think the notebook lacks a CD drive.....will confirm this ASAP

I replied to your essentially identical question in
comp.os.ms-windows.ce

If you are going to ask the same question in mutliple newsgroups,
please ask in all at once, so everyone can see and/or respond to the
whole thread. If that is a bit difficult because the newsgroups are on
separate servers, please at least acknowledge that you've asked in
more than one.

would be the best group
