    hey. i need help reformatting my dell, but alas dell does not ship a cd that contains windows with the laptop. i do have a copy of windows on cd that came with my dell desktop, but the cd says "pc only". can i use this disc to reformat my i9300? or is the "pc only" warning actually there for a reason other then to discourage pirating. i also know you can go to the dellwebsite and download drivers and all that, but im retarded and i cant figure out how to set up my wireless router, so some help on that would be apprciated too. thanks in advance.

    flyrooster,

    You know I like you and agree with most of what you say too. Trust me when I tell you to ease up here. Do you understand?

    I'm going to tell you again that we have always gotten along. He's not ready and you've got to try to understand what I'm saying. Can't you hear from his words that it's not going to help suggesting checking around,etc...

    Tacobell,
    Needs to concentrate on the wireless setup issue and forget about this for now.

    There are people that don't understand all the time and right now reformatting is not an issue in any way until the wireless is set up and full preperation has been done too get ready for a reformat.

    Tacobell,
    Unless you call Dell you wont have the disks and it doesn't sound like you're making backups or know quite what to do at all.

    Flyrooster,
    I'm not trying to be rude. Can't you understand what I'm saying?

    Heart [ :)][ :)][ :)]

    Karma,It'll Get You!

    Flyrooster,
    Thanks for being so kind. I didn't want to offend you.
    It's too obvious there is no clue yet....Do you understand now?

    Everything I said was due to his own words! Tacobell really needs to understand and be told It's not time yet. Preperation is everything and there is none yet!

    Anyway, I'm glad you were not offended by anything I said!

    Heart [ :)]
