    Apparently, I just downloaded Windows 7 Professional from the MS site.
    I want to install this but the problem is I won't be able to get the "Red Mars" theme including the icons(the theme when you newly bought your alienware). Anyone knows where to get these theme? i have been searching through google but had no luck :(

    Are you talking about the wallpapers and windows user icons? Or what are you talking about when you say "Red Mars" theme?

    You can image your drive, if you're talking about the M11x themes/wallpapers/avatars you can download them from the Dell Drivers& Support website under the M11x's downloads.

    All of the info you need is here if performing a clean install:

    http://forum.notebookreview.com/ali...ack-original-wallpapers-only-nothing-new.html

    If you just want to install another HDD/SSD into the system and take it back to the point of unboxing (factory state), then create the rescue media using DataSafe Local or AlienRespawn. Install the new drive and then boot from the Rescue Media. This will restore the factory partitions and data to the new drive.

    Questions on the theme and wallpaper can go here:

    Have fun.
