If this is the case and you still have the paperwork then take it back and get them to retatoo it. If the recovery partition has been erased then you'll need to purchase a set of recovery CDs to do a Packard Bell restore. Probably easier to do as nffc says and buy a copy of XP instead.

If that was the case, then legally they have to repair using the same model MB where possible, and retattoo. PB do customise their boards to allow the DMI to be tattooed, there is no way a replacement OEM board will work for this, nor is it legal to.
