So, i had an unknown virus from an unknown location which messed up my system big time. so much i could not start up my machine, so what did i do? i used the "oh " disc provided by dell, which i thought would restore my machine to the alienware defaults but that would make too much sense. i was supposed to use my alien respawn but since i couldnt boot my system how was i supposed to get to it?, my alienware m11x used to run like a dream. but since i used the disc to reinstall windows, my machine doesnt recognize a graphics card, all alienware programs are gone, it did not install the alienware version of windows. and several other things. just curious if there is any way to fix these issues, the most important of which is the graphics card not showing up at all. any help would be greatly appreciated!
system score since reinstall:
processor: 4.1
memory: 4.8
graphics: 3.2
gaming graphics: 3.2
primary hard disc:5.9

The disc didn't mess up your system, you did. Just go to Dell's website and download the drivers (or for the graphics card grab the latest ones off of Nvidia's website if you have a r2/r3) and whatever Alienware applications you want as well.
