QUOTE(Andrewhajime @ Apr 19 2007, 08:48 PM) if you want to have 2 os , make sure you have 2 partition so if i just insert my xp cd in.. then install to the recover partition that dell made ( 10gb of space waste install one in one partition .... during booting , it will ask you which os you want to run haha....wanna break ppl's rice bowl ? this kind question you are not allow to ask here  but for the answer is quite easy to get outside  ) then i can install xp to it?problem is.. i tried installing dual vista - xp boot on my desktop but cant because u must install xp -> vista or it cannot detect QUOTE 1.normally do you all make partition for the hdd? if yes, 120g need to make how many partition and what is the size for each? 2.the vista premium disk provided can use to make partition like xp rite? or use partition magic better? 3.what is other antivirus that you all use other than the one provided? 4.Can use office 2003 with vista premium rite? 1. i believe 100gb - 20gb would be nice setting (20gb for windows) (100gb for porn  )2. u can make partition from vista itself, just open help and support and type in partition » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « 3. none, i choose mcafee and its already laggy 4. yup |

yup its sharp, the estimated time maybe earlier, no prob, they will call up to confirm a date once ur system is ready to be shipped
if anything goes wrong call the order servicing dept.. screw the hell outta them and they will sent it asap, last time i call it and they send it by that day also |

QUOTE(teikwing @ Apr 21 2007, 07:05 AM) is it possible for me to extend my warranty even after my warranty has ended? hmm dell so nice? mobo spoilt liao still can extend warranty? thats swell..coz there's one of my frens her I6000 mobo burnt after the warranty period ended then Dell said the charges to replace the mobo would be 1k+. but instead asking her to replace the mobo..they've gave her a choice for getting extra 3 yrs CC for RM1k. she paid 1k for the 3 yrs CC extension. that's what i heard from her. its more expensive to extend warranty later compared to purchasing extra warranty at the beginning |
