Dell Inspiron 700 m with Windows XP is slow
I searched the Internet and discovered that you can reinstall using winnt32.exe. I tried and installed on another partition on my drive hard (I dunno really what I do.) The newly installed XP on a different partition has one problem: he can't connect to internet because I think it doesn't have the drivers and I do not have the CD for the drivers. So in my computer, it has 2 hard drives: disk Local (c) and (d), (c) one is the original. So I want to start Windows XP by using the C: drive, but it starts by using the D: drive. I tried disk management, but it is said: the RPC server is unavailable. Any help? Thank you!

I tried to restore my Dell Inspiron E1505 laptop to the factory setting. I pressed F8 then selected repair and then Dell Factory Image Restore. Used to format hard drive. He formatted the hard drive and then he restored the system. Suddenly, a small window pops up without any details, but saying "error". I restarted the laptop, it entered into Startup Repair mode. But even once showed error "operating system version is incompatible with startup repair". I don't have my windows CD/DVD. Although the windows sticker is still on the laptop. Please advise me how to install the system on the laptop so I can use the same. Please note that I am in Gurgaon (India).
Thank youHello
Because the computer is located in a no start situation and you don't have the installation disc, it is best to contact the manufacturer for assistance.

I have a Dell Inspiron and its ubuntu operating system is there a way to change it to windows xp
I have a dell inspiron operated by ubuntu is possible to change it to windows xp
Hello
I'm assuming that Ubuntu is the only OS installed on the computer, and you have a XP install disc.
The hard disk must be erased all traces of the file system,
Download and burn to cd Darik Boot and Nuke. Start and wipe the drive hard when you are finished it will appear for XP like a new hard drive.

I have a DELL Inspiron 6400 running Windows Vista. The backlight turns off.
I have a DELL Inspiron 6400 running Windows Vista. The backlight turns off when the charger is plugged after about 10 to 15 minutes. If I shine a torch on the screen, I see about the display is always. If I select change user from the menu start or stop / restart the machine, the backlight turns on and will last for another 10 to 15 minutes. I tried in safe mode and the same thing happens. Can someone help me with this problem?
It could be the inverter Board or the backlight itself on the way to the outside. Whatever it is, it is definitely a hardware problem and it will take a good repairman to fix. You can contact Dell and see what they would charge to fix this, just to see if it would be more cost-effective to buy a new laptop or have it repaired. Because it is 5 years since it is manufacturing, you can be better to save your pennies for a new :-(

Why my laptop screen is too dark? I have a Dell Inspiron.
Why my laptop screen is too dark? I have a Dell Inspiron. How can I brighten it? It is 2-3 years and is connected to the power supply. He has suddenly dimmed. I can hardly read.
At startup, the power of type in the box above. Choose power options. Check the brightness settings here. On the battery, they should be lower.
There are also keys to the top of your keyboard, which can affect the brightness.
If there is no problem, you probably have a hardware problem, which may not be easy or cheap to repair.
