To receive help, you should instead provide a detailed description of your problem, detailed word-for-word error messages that you are receiving, screenshots of strange behaviour, and your operating system. This information is much more useful to our helpers than a ComboFix log.

I can't find any info either.

Right click on your DVD drive, click "Properties" and let me know what is the size of USED space on that DVD.

That looks like 64-bit version.

Please retry a whole process.

I tried that DVD again, however the same thing happened. I think its because the version that is on my laptop mis 64bit home premium, and the one on the dvd is just the 64 bit home version.

I have also attempted to use the reinstallation dvd that was provided to me by dell, i did everything you told me, aka choose upgrade etc, however when it did the compatibility check the following report came up & i wasnt sure whether to continue:

The following issues are preventing Windows from upgrading. Cancel the upgrade, complete each task, and then restart the upgrade to continue.


There is not enough free space on partition (C:). A total of 11512 megabytes (MB) of free disk space is required. Try Disk Cleanup, or moving files to an external location such as a CD, DVD, or external hard drive, and then restart the installation.


Windows needs to be restarted so necessary changes to system files can be made before continuing.


For these items, make the following changes:
Uninstall these programs. Open Control Panel and search for "uninstall a program".
Dell Webcam Central
Upgrading Windows will affect the following devices and/or programs:


These programs might not work properly after the upgrade. We recommend uninstalling these programs before upgrading. Cancel the upgrade, open Control Panel, and search for "uninstall a program". (Note: Programs marked as * can be safely reinstalled after the upgrade.)
iTunes (Please deauthorize computer prior to upgrade)

I thought that all versions are included in DVD, but apparently not.

Yeah, that's because when performing non-destructive recovery it should keep all of your files untouched, so it needs some extra space.
How big is your drive and how much of a free space do you have there?
Can you move out some files out (even if temporarily) to free some space?
