    I have an M17x R3 and some drivers seem to be missing from dell's site. If I use my service tag, most of the drivers (including chipset) are missing. If I search for M17x R3 drivers in general, only a few are missing (such as the Centrino 1000 driver, which I was able to acquire elsewhere), while the MEI driver doesn't install. Also end up with some malfunctioning devices in the device manager.

    Also as a side note, if I'm replacing the SSHD with a regular HDD (SSHD is dying), does that mean I don't need RST?

    Also should note that the BIOS says MEI version Unknown
