Hi guys,
I have recently bought new alirnware m17x 24 gb 128ssd with 750 hard drive. I thought that some tests in 3 mark were low(3d markcwas simpmy not using gtx card) and i wanted to restore system. It turned out that i was an idiot and by tchecking some tests wich went out that everything was fine from the beggining i reinstalled windows 8 from scratch. I would like to get back to factory settings but i simply cant and tried numerous ways.
1.F8 doesnt work for me while boot.
2.Before i reinstalled windows i made usb boot recovery by alienrespawn but when i progress with it at 3% i got message error 0x4001100200001005 contact dell support
I had it with option to restore only c: partition , when i tried to restore all and erase date i had a message even before start that i need for it 697 GB disc size . I got 128 SSD and 750 GB.
3. When i go to www.alienrespawn.com site and make a check if i can use it still i got an error that AlienRespawn cannot be installed because your hard drive does not have a backup copy of your factory image. But when i still download it and go to recovery option it finds factory image on my local disk from before purchasing but when i confirm it and the computer is restarting to use it all i get is that same window if i would hold shift buttom while using restart/shut down options. When i also tried using factory image in there ti look on the pc it didint find anything.
Tried to contact dell support on phone but i cant get to them today.
If i got that reinstallation of windows by myself and install all the drivers will there be any particular change vs that factory settings? I know i wont be able to ever use alienrespawn wich sucks but there is probably more things. I still believe they should fix it though.
As i said it looks like i still got it in recovery partition but it just dont want to install and i still got usb bootable disc with factory settings that have those error on installation.
Basically there is only one reason that makes ne angry with that. In that PC check disc scan i got 20 GB now unscanned space that doesnt go either to used or unsued space,wich could block somehwere
In the air while i was maming those windsos reinstallation.
Despite that (i assume its not normal and 20 GB from 128 GB locked somehwere is pretty much ) are there any other reasons from factory settings? I can install windows by my own and install all the drivers , alien command center autopsy etc. I guess that Logo in boot for 2 seconds that exist i can also switch somehow if i read about it more. And even can use some other backup as i wont be able to use alienrespawn i guess after i surrender here. Is there any sense to fight with it ? Do i miss anything from those factory settings ? (of course that 20 GB is preety big matter)
Thx
