Bru Ray Drives in Dell Laptops

If you got it from Dell then Dell has to support it. Call tech support or do
an on-line chat. The on-line is better in my opinion.

Bru Ray Drives in Dell Laptops

Dell didn't offer Blu-ray in the 1521.

They don't list your drive in the DVD/CD driver list download page for the
1525.

Did you buy the drive from Dell?

Why should Dell provide a driver for it?

You are getting the licenses and media for two operating systems, XP and
Vista. Dell was charging more for Vista Business and Ultimate than for XP
Home or XP Pro.

Microsoft's Ballmer Touts Vista-To-XP Downgrade Program

Didja' ever think that maybe it is Steve's wifey that doesn't want him
around the house all day with nothing to do? They have had the same milkman

Do computers from the Outlet (Business & Education) come with the Operating System disc?

The system comes with what the original purchaser got. If it doesn't come
with the disks you are generally entitled to one set of discs. You just call
tech support and ask for them. My XPS410 was...

Dell's DisplayPort Folly

Because people are dumb enough to believe the salespeople that the expensive
HDMI cables are better. They probably make a bigger profit percentage-wise
on the cable than on the TV.

It is not the fan in the power supply, it is the power supply itself causing

I hate restore partitions!! [Dimension 9100/9150]

Why not just download the 9100/9150 chipset drivers from Dell.com? It looks
like all the device drivers are available at support.dell.com.

New Dell products question

See:

Looks like a new series of Latitudes coming. The technology might filter
down to the Vostros.
