I've installed XP pro on several Dell machines with no problems.
Just download the required drivers from Dell.
Does anybody have links for or has the CD/DVD for Windows 7 on Dell machines?
When you have a Dell machine you need an OEM Dell install disk for your OS, whether or not it's XP/VISTA?Windows 7!
You cant really wipe the hard drive as you need to have the Dell drivers intact at installation.
Also something about Dell machines needing to see a Dell boot image!
Anyhow Windows 7 Operating System Install/Upgrade CD for Dell is what I'm looking for.

MTV, "I have a bootable Win7 CD/DVD and the Dell just ignores it at bootup yet on other mchines it boots fine! If I get a Dell OS Install CD and put in the same machine it boots ok!! "
Twoshots YES!
hi cmangle
is ur win7 dvd 32 or 64bit and model of ur dell? Is ur win7 an original? Maybe you could also try making a backup of ur bootable win7 and attempt to boot it from there and/ or proferably with different branded media.
I've had no luck installing Win 7 64bit on my Dell D630 laptop, I get that CD/DVD driver is missing error message.
I've tried booting from a DVD, a USB key, and from a disk in a HDD module but still no luck, even tried two different DVD drives as well as installing a fresh copy of Win XP Pro.
Funny thing to me is that the Win 7 install starts to run off the DVD so why does it say it can't find the right DVD driver?
forbirun, I'll get back to you
macca that's what I get
Have you tried installing it from USB?
Reality is an invention of my imagination.
