Firewire External HD connection
Hi All, I am not real familar with firewire, so here goes. I have 2 Western Digital external hard drives. One is attached to my XPS 410 via one of the firewire ports on the back of the computer.

CD and DVD Problems
Hi, I've got a Presicion 390 that I got used. I installed a new hard drive and a new install of XPSP3. The 390 came with a Sony CD-RW CRX217E and a Philips DVD+-DVD8801. Both show working properly in Device Manager. Also, If I enable CD recording in one of these drives, CD recording is disabled in the ot... 17 Mar 2010 12:27

But do those factors account for about 20 pounds more weight and several more inches in the main dimensions? Thanks, Ron ... 22 Mar 2010 09:21

Blowing Away the Recovery Partition...Advice?
I recently received a new Studio XPS 8100. I opted to keep the C: drive pretty much as-is, and uninstalled most of the smell-ware that Dell adds. I'd really like to delete the extra two partitions that contain Dell's diagnostics and the factory image. My first inclination was to simply use the Diskpart command... 1 Apr 2010 16:51

The Last Word - From Me - On The Win7 Disc
I think we can agree that I have beaten the life out of this topic, so this is the last you'll hear from me about it. In February, 2010, Dell issued a notice through its technical knowledge base that it will no longer include a Windows 7 disc (or a Drivers and Utilities disc) with its computers. No 'cut-off da... 18 Mar 2010 12:57
