    I need to rebuild my m18x r1, but I cannot find the installation disk for the life of me. I tried using Respawn, but the process just hangs after a while and stops working. I can't create a new disk that way. Is there another way to create a new installation disk? I just need the OS, video drivers and maybe the FX software.

    If it was Windows 8 or 10 you can download Windows MediaCreationTool and burn an USB ISO. After installed the SO you can download all the software & driver from Dell web site. Just search by your Tag Id.
