Does anyone have a restore and driver disc recovery iso image. i would like to do a clean install on my x51 r1. i do not have the dvd. Or know where i could purchase this. Any help would be appreciated.

Do you know what to do with ISO's?
If yes, i can help.

 

[mikey]

Yes i do and it will be greatly appreciated. tools are here https://www.microsoft.com/de-de/download/windows-usb-dvd-download-tool
and here https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10ISO.

I'm not following ??? You just sent links to download Windows 10. Why?

 

[mikey]

No the tool to used on iso to make a recovery disc can be used on any windows. But yes i could burn the iso image on a dvd using the tool to reformat my x51 r1 back to original image sorry this link https://www.microsoft.com/de-de/download/windows-usb-dvd-download-tool


I will just burn iso image with a disc burning program onto on a dvd disc and reformat my x51 r1 back to original and i do have my original serial number on the case so once i get a recovery window 7 image (iso) for the alienware x51 r1 I will be set. Thanks again.

Use OEM Activated Option of any Windows Version and if you feel wrong insert the key from the back of your PC
Use USB Tool included with Download if you want

Oh ok, No!! But thanks anyway. This is not what I'm looking for. Looking for the alienware version for x51 r1 with the original partitions so that all will work as original including the alienrespawn as I overwrote the partitions alienspawn uses. Thanks anyway. Was looking for the original recovery disc iso that came with unit when purchased new. Anyway guess I'll be calling Dell. Again, thanks anyway.

Recovery Disk? I have an Alienware Disc , its just Windows 7 with nothing in it , So i'm not sure what you mean, this Black Disc is the only thing came with X51-R2

 

[mikey]

Yes it's the black one alienware sp1. 64 bit it is not ordinary home premium win 7 it an alienware version as I understand. You need this disc to configure the partitions properly as explained in the alienware dell YouTube video

 

[KillerBee33]

this is just a Windows 7 disc dude no configuration there except Custom Alienware Logos and Wallpapers , don't believe everything you see on YouTube, You are searching for something that does not exist Again, Alienware Factory Re installation DVD has ONLY Windows OS in it , nothing else, not even the drivers.

Ok I'll take youre word on that and i will download it here http://www.microsoft.com/en-ca/software-download/home. and use my key.
Ok thanks

you can try and see if OEM key works , but i doubt it , let me know how it goes

 

[mikey]

Really why would it not work ????

 

[KillerBee33]

OEM keys don't activate Windows

 

[KillerBee33]

The link you sent me with Downloads has a button to check Key, Try it However those keys are working as an upgrade

 

[mikey]

Yes you are right. i think I have a win 7 recovery disc for another laptop do you think that would work buy entering my key once installed ??

Maybe this way http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/...-windows/2669057f-28d6-455c-bc44-e0e68c2e3b33

Wow losing the original disc and trying to stay legal is an unbelievable pain in the <?s.
