    i have an M17x and i just installed windows 7 a few days ago and all of a sudden when i boot it up it goes to the "windows starting up" screen where it shows the windows sign, then a black screen comes up saying

    Checking the file system on C:
    The type of the file system is NTFS
    Volume label is OS

    One of your disks need to be checked for consistency. You may cancel the disk check, but it is strongly recommended that you continue.
    To skip disk checking, press any key within 9 second(s).

    It counts down to one then nothing happens. When i press a key when its counting down nothing happes and it just stays at that screen forever. I tried rebooting but nothing. can somebody please help me?

    okay i got rid of that error but i have a new problem. The lights on my keyboard wont light up. the speakers, alienheads, touch buttons, and touch pad light up but the keyboard doesnt. And when i go into alien FX there is no option to light up the keyboard. When i downloaded the alienware driver it said that one or more files failed to unzip. Is there somewhere else i can get the alienware driver?

    *edit* okay i did a search and got it working now so everything is all good :D
