hohoho , i want want to spam spam also , MERRY X'MAS & HAPPY UPCOMING NEW YEAR to all 6400 users

My turn!! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all 6400 users!!

Hello, fellow forumers. Dell Inspiron 6400 user #98 from thread #3 reporting in. Congrats on the new thread! BTW, merry Chistmas to all LYN forumers!

OK. Need an urgent reply for a very nooby question here. Does flashing the sys. BIOS req. / cause hard disk reformatting? Wanna reformat my 6400 immediately. I see the latest 1's ver. A12. Seems quite useful to remove a little more heat from the sys., even if it's only by a tad.

Also, should I format the drives as FAT / NTFS? Planning 1 partition for OS, another for installed prog.s & another for data storage. Which format should I assign them respectively?

Thanks in advance. & try not to overdo on the Christmas cookies, y'all. Wouldn't wanna get jealous when y'all rant / spam about last night's gastronomous indulgence.

You can proceed to flash the system BIOS, doesn't require to reformat your laptop

haha....n btw....NTFS would be better....trust me....

Hi all merry christmas!!!hohoho...
Do ya have any sofftware to read the cpu or Hdd temperature?

google: NHC, notebook hardware control. cheers.

I8kfanGUI is ok too..

Merry Christmas to all!!!

Bios flashing will not cause your hdd to be formatted.

If you plan to install Windows XP, use NTFS. Select the normal NTFS not the (Quick) Option.

Other partitions should also be NTFS.

Read about the benefits of NTFS here.

went to Melaka yesterday
saw lot of ppl using 6400 now
kinda proud
can say 6400 is the hottest in town nowaday right?

Hey guys, I contacted Dell, and i got a reply that only certain laptops can use DMD 3.0? How come?

Mine came with MD 2.0, so he say must use back 2.0. I thought latest version should also work on any 6400.

The fella con me is it? I thought of requesting for the latest disc.

how to check what version that i am using currently?

weyh taiko..long time no c.....

i think..he con u lar...who hv dmd 3.0? maybe can ask them to make 1 copy for us n let us try it... if can, we can say dell trying to bullshit us...

I think during MD bootup, try to look at the top/bottom corner of the screen. Got version no. if not mistaken.

Hehe, bro. If dell finds out that you we do this. We're gonna get into trouble. It's considered piracy.

But it's a very tempting idea.

eryh...owh i do belive, if we can use dmd3.0, later dell will ask us to pay it once u request them the disc

I'm pretty sure MD3 can work on 6400 since I'm using it XD Just pester them a few times, I'm pretty sure they'll send you the MD 3 CD eventually..
