hi guys...

as a new user of xps...i would like to ask...how important the drive D: RECOVERY ? i'm thinking of using that 10gig of space for other things (dual/triple boot maybe) but afraid of loosing something useful in that D drive. i;m currently downlodng trial version of acronis, planning to create image of that D drive. can i restore back the initial state of D drive with acronis? hehe...first time to try it.

hope to get some feedback...

i think the other extra goes to dell utilities/ diagnosis tool to examine ur pc as and when required.

btw, i just screwed my D partiton, my media direct only load inside windows

try to use PCRestore (pressing F8) but failed as i already screwed the mbr...huhu

end up reformating the whole thing. now almost finish.

of coz ma....now pening seaching SetPoint application which used to setting my Dell Bluetooth Mouse button.

try to install Mouse Suite but no button setting coming up

Master Boot Record. Try this to know more about MBR.

as far as i believe, if change ur partition size, u already break ur mbr and then ur media direct wont load expressly i.e pressing media direct button will load windows instead of media direct express. then media direct will load after windows load...u loose the point of having media direct

so..think b4 u resizing ur partitionor play around with it...huhu..lesson learnt. i already lost the PCRestore etc

hai guys..

i just notice that i had one dead pixel of my screen after changing the wallpaper. it size about a particle of sand.

can i request for screen replacement? or there are certain criteria of dead pixel that qualify for screen replacement?

cheers!

phoenix,

try update ur fingerprint driver from UPEK website to version 1.9.2.111

and then maybe try update ur audio driver to the latest from dell website...

the SP1 should come up after that...thats what i experience..also i had read somewhere in this forum.

ok thanks,

already sent notification to them. but i guess mine only 1 dead pixel but maybe 2 joint dead pixel. i cant tell.

hmm...no BSOD so far. haven't seen how bsod look like

but i guess it shud be same as the blue screen of windowz rite..

yeah...i guess so...its for all version.

mine also same version with u...i update thru Windows Update...about 66MB in size...

Sunshine,

They won't entertain. I also got 1 dead pixel but they call it as industrial standard to have less than 5 dead pixel unless u have >5 dead pixel i.e 6 dead pixel or 2 joint dead pixel then they can replace it.

i email them and the above is their answer.

Hi guy,

Maybe it look bit noob but would like to ask here. as far as i know, our bundle RAM is at speed of 667MHZ as advertised in their website. But my cpuz show the speed is 333MHZ. anything should i know about this? thanks for enlightent me.

why don't u give them an email first. see what their respond. usually they reply within 1 business day.

last time i email them regarding my dead pixel and they respond that they will replace if only i got more than 5 dead pixel or 2-joint dead pixel. less than 5 dead pixel is industrial standard they said.

if they respond with some crap bla bla....then u make a call to counter the crap
