Has anyone managed to do a clean install of windows 7 ultimate on 15r se? I haven't received mine yet but read on some forums that people are having trouble while trying to install widows again. Specially those who have 1tb hdd with 32gb msata. Can anyone check in the bios>sata settings>... Does Indian version has msata? If it does then there would be intel smart response technology (intel srt) option in bios sata settings.

mSATA device: not detected.

backup ur current OS with Dell DATA SAFE Local BAckup (it takes 3 DVDs).
there is a separate locked partition containing factory image for restoring purposes.better dont delete it while installing new OS.

SATA option is seen as AHCI

Well, if i make back up disks then there is no point in keeping the resore partition. I allways prefer the clean install of windows over a bloatwares infested OEM windows provided by the maufacturer. If indian version doesn't have msata then there should be no problem. I hope anyone who has got this machine can cofirm that.

Waiting eagerly for my machine to come....

Bloatwares?....yup a lot of it....svchost is downloading @ alarming rates...now i am using comodo security suite and blocked all those bloatwares from accessing net.

Dell is providing all software including Win home premium in DVDs, u can even skip taking backups(restoring image from hard drive is quicker that's y i said it)

I can see the reason why Dell and a lot of other companies have to put bloatwares on their pc's. Companies pay them to put their stuff on the laptops and thus the overall cost of laptop is in a way subsidised. If they decide not to put any bolatware then the cost of the laptops would be increased by anywahere around 10K and that would be bad for us(consumer). Thus i dont mind any bolatware at all as anyway I'm gonna wipe all the trash clean and do a new install.

I dont understand all these and the few previous posts abt msata n all!!:-(

But

can you put the procedure stepwise for a fresh install of win 7 starting from the unpacked state of the laptop.including when(no need of how!!) to partition and all pls..It wont take long...but will help me for a safe installation without missing or loosing anything):)
:-o

I hop to get the lap soon (Status :in Transit):mrgreen:

Hey guys, I have got a query regarding the Dell inspiron 17r SE.
As you all may know that Dell India is offering only 2 models.
One with the Base config. for 64k and the other with the best config for 95k.
I really can't afford that much.
My query is that should I go with the Base model or not?
Is the 1600x900 resolution good enough for a 17" screen?
And I guess the GPU will be of 90W since its the i5 processor so will it be slower as compared to the 130W GPU offered with the i7?
I may live without the backlit keyboard(I'll buy a gaming keyboard later).
What should I do?

But Sisley played many similar graphics demanding games like BF3,Maxp3,MW3 etc in the lap for hours and only got a max temp of 70 (max) that too in non-AC room!!
compared to sisley's this one looks 10 degrees hotter na?:-?:|

dont worry, tomorrow you will get the DHLbluedart consignment number and day after tomorrow you will get your lappy. in the mean time go to blue dart website and find out who is your nearest blue dart courier dealer ( just enter your pin code here BLUEDART EXPRESS LTD: Location Finder) and keep their number handy, once you get the tracking id just call the local courier and en-quire abt the package and they will deliver it quickly:-D)
