Re: Oh my GOD I could KILL MICHAEL DELL

can't he used a 3rd party software to access that partition and burn that shit?

Branugga, download knoppix (its linux on a CD, does not install ANYTHING)... put in your CD, start... it will boot up to a cute desktop. You will be able to see all your partitions and harddives... if you can see the thing you need, you can load knoppix in a way that will allow you access to your CD burner so that you can burn that image in the partition

Re: Oh my GOD I could KILL MICHAEL DELL

I guess Im lucky that my dell was what i ordered.....although i did think i ordered a cd burner with it. I didnt notice it for at least 6 months tho because i had dial up at the time and didnt do the music thing....and when i did, i didnt have a burner....and when i looked at the invoice it didnt have a burner with it
Talk about being displeased

At this stage, assuming he's completely given up on Dell, all that can be done is get the data off from the machine. Reset the MBR and reinstall an OS from scratch. At least you'll have a full-sized drive out of the whole sorry mess.

Of course that is how Dell works everything is an upgrade or they just send you the most basic thing that is there business model that is how they work. Also if you are big corp client they will bend over backwards do anything they can to help you at but if you and SMB or end user your fucked. People are always looking for the best deal when it comes to PC's that first payment but not looking at TCO.

it won't... this baby takes everything I throw at it, and a lot of shit I throw...

Computers are not the issue, its the users.

In the unforeseenable event the laptop dies, I will happily take it downstairs, we are one of Dell's Global Service Partners (we are not responsible for their evil ways though, we just make money out of them)
