Need info on installation of Windows xp on windows 7
Go to the Dell support web site and search for the Windows XP drivers are available for your specific model number.
Using your Dell's Service tag number is the fastest way to get the correct drivers.
http://support.Dell.com/support/downloads/index.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=Gen
If there is then Windows XP Download drivers to a folder on your hard drive and install all of them.
starting with the mother/chipset, SATA, Firewire card drivers (1394), LAN, USB, Audio, Etc., and so on.
If there is no driver XP not listed then you model does not support XP, you can watch mode "XP".

I have computer laptop dell inspiron r15 without any OS n5110 preinstalled
I bought a windows 7 ultimate retail how can I do a windows OEM 7 dvd to my laptop using the key to selling to retail?
The product key will determine which path he comes (selling retail or OEM). So if the COA sticker attached to your Dell laptop (look at the bottom or in the battery compartment) is for Ultimate, then using that key with the copy of Windows 7 Ultimate you purchased installs it as an OEM license.
If you have purchased a license for Windows 7 Ultimate retail and use the key provided with you won't be not able to convert it from the OEM license is already at retail.
If my suggestion, just install your license as is.

Hello
I desperately need HELP! I formatted my laptop Dell Inspiron N5110 and reinstall a copy of windows 7 after noticing several virus on my pc. But I doesn't not delete or format the Partition recovery. The recovery partition is intact. I now have to recover my pc to the factory of origin of windows settings , but I don't know if it's possible and how. I didn't know I could just use the Dell Datasafe from the beginning before formatting my pc (stupid I am). I handed a letter to the recovery partition (f) and know I can see all the files included in it. After searching for a while, some people suggesting to run the cmd following under 'Tools' dir (ED I can't find):
imagex /apply f:\dell\image\factory.wim 1 c:\
Can someone help me please? I really need help with that! Can someone give me instructions what to do?
Thank you
Chris.
Hello
Don't need you to worry, by making use of the formatted partition recovery software you can easily recover files after formatting the hard disk partition. Few days back, I spent the same similar problem where in lost some important files due to the installation of the OS. Then I tried this recovery software which really helped me to recover files after the installation of the operating system. So, you can download this software by following the below mentioned links.

Buy a USB hub. They are inexpensive; Amazon has them from $5.99

Do not allow for stereo mix in windows 7 on laptop Dell Inspiron 3521
Hello
I want to activate 'stereo mix' in windows 7 Home premium on my laptop Dell Inspiron 3521, 'sound' in the criminal, and then open control record tab, right-click in the window, I opened, it shows no "stereo mix" in devices either active or disabled, I have the latest audio drivers from the Dell website. Help, please
Thanks in advance
Make sure that the Realtek driver is installed. If it is you will then see the words "Realtel HD ' on your recording & reading tabs.
If no luck with the latest Realtek, then try the older version. If still no luck then go to the Realtek site and get a "High definition" driver from there.
