Alright so I just did a clean install of Windows 7 and want to keep my PC clean (I am very obsessive about keeping my laptop as clean as possible). As seen in the title I use programs such as CCleaner, Remove Empty Directories (it is a program), and Glary Utilities to achieve this...I also keep...

Alright so replacing the HD with the optical drive proved to be pointless as the optical drive kept ejecting the Windows Disk right as I put it in, I ended up just using my portable optical drive again. However, I finally have everything working. All I had to do was simply put all the drivers on...

Straight from Alienware (Dell)...I will try downloading drivers on a different computer

I dont have internet connection...so how do I install drivers? There shouldn't be any problems with the HD in the optical drive I have been running it like that for over a year and never had issues....

Hey guys I did a clean install of Windows 7 last night after Secure Erasing my two HD's using Parted Magic. I have an Alienware M14x R1...I have a SSD - Crucial M4 in the main bay and the stock HD replaced the optical drive...so two hard drives. However I have run into a few major problems: 1...

Yea thats what I have, had it since the day I bought the computer it has been great, guess I just wont try to update the firmware on the HD again haha

So I tried using Bootrec.exe and then /BootRbd or whatever the command was to rebuild as well as fixmbr and fixboot but none of the commands were recognized?

I have tried to get an answer for this question on three different windows forums and no answer...

I have an Alienware M14x R1 laptop with a Crucial M4 SSD as my primary drive and the stock Seagate in the optical drive as my secondary drive. I recently tried to update the Seagate's firmware and now everytime I boot up I get this message that says, "Non-system disk press any key to continue"...
