Yes, I will repartition it into C: and D:. I don't like to put all my files in the same drive as the OS. Whenever I feel that my OS is getting slower and slower after using it for 2-3 years, I will clear my C: and reinstall the OS again. This way I don't have to spend time to backup all the files in 'My Documents' folder.

I don't understand what did you mean by 'wasted for the security software' .


The price is RM2720. When I ordered it, they had a promotion to give discount of RM120 for any order over RM2600. A rare promotion .

Mine.. my boss just ordered this afternoon thru online.. i dont have CCard so my boss help me out to get one.. (best boss ever!!)

I just changed only the red color all specs are on default.. my very first notebook~!

work harder for your boss !!!!!!

make him proud

Yah.. been staying here in MY for 1year+ and must improve more ..

har har har.. now i can catch up with my boss in HON ahaha.. (/gg)

**but im still little bit scared on color washed up on display issue..

wah, really nice. i like the spec u upgraded.

hehe same mine also red and rest default XD also my very 1st laptop. Everyone in school loves this lappy xD except when compare with my friends alienware -,-

but... colour wash? what colour wash? Didn't experience anything like that 0.o

act, what is the diferen between G and N signal?
why u all so care about it? mind to tell me, i really duno about this

**i think i mis-typed.. "colord washed out" i think i should call..

i bought this notebook as a souvenir before i go home next year.. great specs in great deal...

my hands are shaking when ever i saw mugshots from the previous owners ahahaha!!

Look like majority people will choose RED for the casing.

But did they offered you 5gb online back up(worth RM37.00) and 17" targus soft hug backpack(worth RM159.00) as well at that time?

nope that time, it was -rm120 only. but now they FOCed a 17" bag. so u would say..value to value wise, it's almost the same

hmmm i mean when u ordered it, the notebook has included the Trend Micro 15 months right? So when u repartition it, the trend micro gone. will u feel wasted?
hmmm i got 1 thing wanna ask u all, the notebook come with 2 partition or juz 1? probably how many space u set as ur C: drive (Main Drive OS)?

sorry, can someone answer my ques?

act, what is the diferen between G and N signal?
why u all so care about it? mind to tell me, i really duno about this

hmmm i refuse to answer becoz i'm not pro enuff explain to u. hmmm actually G and N is the base on the area. wat i mean is for example G signal Wireless Router is juz 100meter area (if ur notebook away from router 101m then u won't get the wireless connection). and N signal which is the best and it will be 150 - 200m area. so u no need to worry didn't get ur wireless connection have u have a N signal wireless card.

it's juz an example to do explanation for u.

only 1..well, jus use partition to as many partitions as u wan

generally, the N has faster transfer speed

sigh.... which means when i ordered it, i need reformat it and repartition it. wat for for the free security software (Trend Micro / McAfee)? wat a wasted. s**t

Now I know what your concern is, because when we reformat our C:, the volume serial number will change and you afraid that Trend Micro can't be activated again right?
When I received my unit, the Trend Micro is not activated yet. Until now I did not activate it because my favourite is Norton, not Trend Micro.
I don't know about other units out there. Maybe some other owner can confirm this?

My unit's harddisk (320GB) has 3 partitions by default.
The first one is a Dell Diagnostic partition (40MB) which contains a set of 'TEST' tools to test every component in your laptop. See this link: http://support.dell.com/support/topics/glo...02EE16785D39C5C.
The second partition is a RECOVERY partition (15GB) which I still don't know what is it and how to make use of it.
The third one is the remaining space (280GB) and is the C:

What I plan to do is to divide the C: partition into half: 140GB each so I will have C: and D:. The allocation of space is based on my own usage pattern. I do software programming, so I need to install Visual Studio, documentations and a lot of other programs.
C: will contains all the Program Files.
D: will contains all my projects, databases, virtual machines and other data files. Basically I don't put my important files into C:

huh y do u need to reformat it? juz use any partition software to create partition..no need to reformat

Ya lah, like kucing said, no need to reformat. Just download a partition manager software to split it.

Reformat is just purely my own habit. You don't have to follow.
