Rebuilding from CDs and missing applications
I recently purchased an E510 with MCE and as usual, the system cam preloaded
with crap. I also purchased the restore CDs. I want to rebuild the system without the crap so I will use the CDs instead of the builtin restore. I know I will have to install the OS and then install the drivers. I have some questions: 1. In what order should I install the drivers? 2. Until I can purchase some full featured apps, where are the Sonic/Roxio CD/DVD Burning apps located on the restore CDs? Thank you, ~alan

Thank you, ~alan The order of install of drivers is: 1) Chipset drivers 2) Everything else As for Sonic, it is quite possible that Dell's license with Sonic only allows it to be pre-installed on the image. Don't know, but quite possible. The $10 check box is ONLY for the OS CD. Tom

Rebuilding from CDs and missing applications
A couple of added comments:
If the E510 has an SATA drive, it may be necessary to load the SATA drivers early on in the installation process. Otherwise, the motherboard chipset drivers provide an absolutely mandatory baseline necessary prior to the installation of any other hardware drivers. This is a hard-and-fast rule in the wonderful world of Windows. Also, be prepared to reboot the system many times, both for the initial install and the download of all the band-aids from the Microsoft web site to plug some of the multitude of security holes. Sonic may be available as a download from the Dell web site. CDBurnerXPPro is a suitable free substitute capable of most CD and DVD burning tasks...

Rebuilding from CDs and missing applications
Thanks All for your suggestions.
I just contacted Dell and not only am I missing the Sonic Apps CD, but also, the modem CD. They are sending me the missing CDs ~alan ------------------------- America - It's not perfect, but it is the best there is. If you disagree, then leave for someplace better.

Rebuilding from CDs and missing applications
I asked Dell about SATA drivers for the E510. Their official answer is that
Special drivers are not needed if you restore from the build-in restore or from the DELL OEM Reinstallation CD/DVD. ~alan ------------------------- America - It's not perfect, but it is the best there is.

Then the Dell OEM reinstall CD/DVD has the SATA drivers slip-streamed onto it.
You hope. Possibly the later media center edition has them built in by Micro$oft. I do not know. I am too backward to have tinkered with Windows MCE...

Slip-streamed. Definitely a good deed to Dell owners. Spoken like a true
