    I was ignored in the Owners lounge so I`m starting new thread:

    Well, first error already :p

    Everything is at it`s best, I like design, lcd, good quality of components, all thing s are good enough for me but...

    I wanted to reset partitions all over, set a new windows once again, I did it, everythings went well till I inserted Alienware M17 support cd which turned out to be...blank :p I have empty CD :p No drivers whatsoever :p

    I downloaded everything form net and works for now but can somebody who has this CD in good quality would be so nice to tell me what exactly is on this CD? Or maybe even upload image of this CD for me? That would be the best but I know it`ll be hard to find volunteer

    Maybe you could contact AW about that. They could have an image in some FTP server etc.

    I was thinking maybe to DL all the latest drivers and burn them to the disk. That doesn't make a ton of sense considering you could just put all the drivers on a USB drive instead of burning a new CD.
