That I think is kinda crazy - they should put some sort of notice in the manual or somewhere at least, that ONLY the XP install disk that comes with the system works.
We used our standard SP2 disks on every Dell that went through our shop....
Never had an issue like that. That is really odd stuff. Glad I didn't have to deal with that lol.

ya the xps is awsome and all but idk about there laptops but still the same its super expensive for a kid who doesnt have a minimum wage job and if he did he'd have to save like 2 years worth of it lol
but if i had an xps and unlimited money i would have the best xps. also the dell company make it so hard for other companies to upgrade it thts why u have to be a constant dell buyer
