    Like i mean i have lost my alienrespawn trough this upgrade and want it back because this recovery CD Vista ist okay but the Drivers what I try to install is not working, I dont know where can i activiate my Nvidia 280m graficards because this green boost option in the taskbar is gone, and my touch sense is not working also, and I think this respawn thing would be the best.

    Thanks a lot for your responde!

    James,

    Not sure if you tried this - but if you performed an 'upgrade' from Vista to W7 rather than a clean install of W7, try this:

    Dell - R243967

    Thanks a lot for your responde too! The problem is that I have after this windows 7 ugrade, downgrade again to vista 64 in the hope that this boot option will come up again, but it wasnt so, but I found this patch in the meantime and tought that when I upgrade again into windows 7 I can use this patch to fix this problem. But it said to me I think: BNR.ini fail or something. So I hope I can use this Gparted, I have to just figure out wich version I can use from it and If I can start it from a USB stick.

    Thanks a lot for your all help I love u dudes really I could cry

    Hi the Moo

    You think I can do it with the usb stick? I found a usb stick version, here@

    http://www.chip.de/downloads/GParted-Live-ZIP-Version_35024562.html

    I read there I have to just make it bootable the usb drive and put this Gparted unzippen on it. You think its gonna be work or is it bether to burn to a cd? If a CD I have to unzip the files, and burn with nero example to cd I think I have to choose iso or?

    Thanks a lot for your help Im really sorry to bother u with noob questions, you are great!

    Thanks!

    infrarecorder and then burn image if you choose to do it the CD way


    Either way it will work its just your choice.




    once you get it booted just open up G parted ( its a icon on your desktop and click flag for boot then restart

    I'm pretty confused right now, I'm not amazing at computer stuff but I'm also looking for a fix to my alienware m15x problem concerning the failure of my alienware respawn v2.0 disc the the inability to boot.

    Could someone give me instructions please and thanks!
