I have M1730 with windows Vista.
I just installed 2 x 120Gb hard drives, created RAID0 stripe, and trying to install Windows XP.
I Downloaded Intel SATA RAID drivers from support.dell.com. Trying to install them from a floppy during Windows XP install but get a BSOD every time its trying to load the driver
If anyone was successful in installing Windows XP on M1730 (with RAID 0)
Ive basically just bought an M1730 so its a machine i`m not familiar with, i noticed that no details were appearing in the small LCD window in the top right so i referred to the manual,
it said you go to Logitech in the start menu to change the settings. Now this is where the fun started, i had no Logitech option on my start menu, it simply wasn`t their.
I bought my laptop from a Dell Outlet reseller, seeing as i had the back up disc for windows vista and the Dell drivers disc i thought i would do a full install of windows as something was obviously missing, normally re-installing windows is straight forward.
Now i don`t know how i managed this, after re-installing windows my laptop starts in the normal way with the Dell logo appearing but i then get a black boot up screen which gives me 2 boot options and they are both labelled Microsoft windows vista, so basically i have 2 choices of the same thing to boot up.
I think i have somehow installed windows vista onto 2 hard drives, my laptop has 2 x 200GB drives.
With laptops ive had in the past re-installing the operating system has been easy, its basically put the disc in and it walks you through it, this wasn`t straight forward .....
I can't seem to find it in the reinstall gude!!
View 7 Replies View RelatedI currently have A M1730 with Sli 8800m Gtx and am having gfx card driver problems.
I had 197.15 drivers installed when my system crashed.
To cut a long story short, I fully formatted my HDD I have tried installing the newest 197.16 drivers,
188 drivers and the offical 179 drivers from the dell website but everytime I install them my computer freezes after the Windows loading screen and it just goes blank and nothing happens.
I replaced hard drive with SSD and installed windows 7 ultimate (X64) on my HP Pavilion G4 notebook. However, I am not able to install switchable graphics on my laptop now.
Â
I have tried this
1. Installed HPSA and ran update and tuneup. It asked me to update "AMD High-Definition Graphics Driver" but it failed with multiple retries and after some time now it doesnt ask to do this update at all. Now everything is green in HPSA but I am still not able to switch the graphics
2. Tried to download from HP drivers page but it says "AMD Catalyst Mobility cannot be downloaded due to incompatible harware/software on your computer"
3. Tried uninstalling the driver but windows updates the drivers automatically.
4. I also updated BIOS as suggested at [URL] ..... but still no luck......

Anyone with experience installing windows 7 64 bit on XPS M1730? Things to watch for? Recommendations?

He has to do a "repair/diagnose" to get back on the network
the only thing i wanted to ask was what drivers should i be installing? i dont want anything to conflict since 7 isnt entirely supported yet. right now i just installed the touchpad pointer and nvidia drivers for windows 7 from nvidia's website.
the real thing i want to install is quickset, but i feel this particular piece of software would conflict the most.
I'm about to pick up the XPS M1730, maxxed out on pretty much everything. Now I was considering throwing the Windows 7 beta on there, but I haven't really found anything saying if there are any problems with doing that, driver conflicts, software conflicts, that kind of thing.

My issue is that in Windows 7 when I use LightFX Plugin 1 or 2, the lights simply 'flicker' really weakly. They don't change color or anything. LightFx3 works fine.
I was wondering if anyone has had a similar issue and has been able to fix it? Does anyone know where maybe an updated version of LightFX is available? (it's nightmare to track down!)
what is everyone's rating with 4gb memory ram on windows rating. i have 4.8 on 64bit basic.
my asus g2k-a1 has 4gb memory on 32bit premium and it's rated 5.9. why is this? both are 5-5-5-18 ddr2 800.
My main concern is I get 2 ! in triangles in my device manager under Other Devices
Here is how it goes:
Other Devices
Base System Device, Location: PCI Bus 5, Device 1, Function 2
The Driver is NOT Installed (Code 28)

I have a dell xps m1730 with a X7900 processor in it running at 2.8. Everytime i run the Windows 7 expierence index my processor gets a 2.3 or 3.0 out of 7.9. Why? I have a extreme processor.
View 9 Replies View RelatedCurrently running vista 32 and I want to upgrade to windows 7 64 but on the dell device driver's page there is no support for windows 7. Only XP and Vista drivers are listed.
Will the drivers automatically update through Windows 7 or do I try to find the drivers myself?
Not sure how exactly to get RAID setup - I've never set it up myself. Could anyone explain how to set up your computer in RAID in Vista/

They both have the horrible ! next to them, and I can't figure out what drivers I'm missing.

View 6 Replies View RelatedRelatively soon after a Windows Update (Vista), my screen blacked out and the resolution changed from 1920x1200 to something like 800x600. After restarting the notebook, everything seemed to be back to normal, except my graphics card (GeForce 8800M GTX x 2) wasn't working, and upon looking in the device manager, it said the device wasn't working (code 43).
So, I tried uninstalling drivers/reinstalling drivers, etc. and nothing seemed to work. And now something I've done has made the main VGA drivers or whatever not work, and all I see is a big black screen on startup (but the mouse icon is on the screen and can move around).
Has anyone clean installed Windows 7 on their new Inspiron laptops? I just bought a E1545 and it came with Windows 7. I'd like to clean install and I was wondering if it was as easy as popping in the Windows 7 DVD and waiting for it to install and then just dling the drivers online and installing.
And how about Windows XP? I know most people have gotten used to and accepted Windows 7... but has anyone installed WIndows XP on their laptop that came with Windows 7 originally? I mean a native install, not virtual...
If no one has done this yet, I am willing to create a guide if it is requested and if I succeed in doing so...
When i bought my laptop it have windows 8 but i disliked it and have many bugs on my games so i installed windows 7

View 2 Replies View RelatedMy Y580 should be arriving shortly. I got it on the Black Friday Special and it comes with Windows 8. I bought a SSD to replace the HDD and I am wanting to downgrade it to a fresh install of Windows 7 Ultimate or Pro and I have a couple questions:
Â
How to do this for the Y580? I have not been able to locate one.
Â
Also I am assuming I would not want to use the Windows 8 device drivers correct? Do I use the Windows 7 device drivers?
Â
Would use the drivers from the Lenovo site or each devices specific website? I am going to try to save them on a DVD in advance and want to be prepared.
Have an HP DV8110us Pavilion notebook purchased in 2006. Â Running XP SP3. Â Upgrading to Windows 7 with a clean install. Â Ran the MS Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor. Â This notebook has the AMD Turion 64-bit chip running at 1.8 mhz. Â I have 2 GB memory. Â Looking through the Win7 options, I decided to order Win7 32-bit, since I'm only carrying 2 GB of memory. Â Win 7 64-bit seems to be happier with 4 GB. Â While the Advisor shows I have some drivers that need updating after Window 7 is installed, I just noticed that the Realtex RTL8139/810x NIC needs a new driver for 32-bit Win7, but under 64-bit Win7, the NIC is compatible.
Â
Should I have ordered the 64-bit Win7 ? Â Or should I look around for a new Realtek driver ? Â Realtex has a link to an old Vista driver that should work. Â Other searches suggest that a workable driver might be on the Win7 DVD.
I decided to install Windows 7 From a USB drive on my XPS 15z. I am using a USB thumb drive that is 3.0. When the computer first starts, I can select "Boot From USB" and the Windows installation will begin. Once I click "Install" to start the Win7 install, I noticed it was asking for drivers, as it can no longer see the USB thumb drive. When I try to browse, the USB thumb drive is missing for some reason. I believe it has to do something with the fact that the USB is being "Emulated" according to the BIOS. I need to be able to copy the USB 3.0 Chipset drivers (Renesas Driver) which can be downloaded here: URL... Into the RAM (Where Windows installs the VERY first files for Windows 7 Installation) during the very beginning of the install. Is there a folder that I can put them in, on the Windows 7 installation USB drive or the original ISO for the Windows 7 installation CD? So that when the Windows installer first starts, it copies the folders with the files needed to the RAM with everything else and the files can be accessed? (Since the USB can not be read from without the drivers)
Or is there a way to prevent the USB from hiding when I start to install Windows 7 from the USB drive?I have tried to use both of the two USB ports on the computer.I noticed in the BIOS it says "USB Emulation" and does not have an option to go to USB 2.0 as some suggested that I can find in the BIOS.
I tried several times to install Windows XP on my 1536.
Problem is that after "Windows loads all the files" and claims that "Setup is starting Windows" it will blue screen. This problem is not the disk, as I have tried Pro, Home, and Media Center edition all with burnt and OEM disks.
I got a new 120GB seagate Momentus 7200rpm HDD in the mail today. I wasn't expecting it yet (I actually wasn't expecting it to ship until today) so I wasn't ready for it.
I need to know how I can copy windows from my current 60GB HDD to my new 120GB...but I don't have a Windows Xp CD. I know there is some way to make an "image" of my current HDD? But when I research that it gets a little confusing because they are always how to's for backing up your files rater than making a CD that you can actually install on a blank HDD.
How many CD's will it take If I un-install all my programs first and basically just copy Windows itself?
I'm not interested in going out and buying an external caddy and copying directly to the new HDD externally UNLESS that is the only way to do it. I need a way that it can be done like...2day! cause i'm anxious!
i rebooted with the windows xp cd in and after it does the first check and you press enter i do, and something comes up about cant continue because theres no hard drive detected?
