Alienware Respawn Boot Cd

Hey everyone, I just picked up an m14x r2 from a friend of mine. I'm trying to restore the laptop to the factory state, but when I try to run the repair tool off of the recovery disc, I get this error:'Windows cannot find a system image on this computer. Attach the backup hard disc or insert the final DVD from a backup set and click retry.' I don't know if that system image is on the recovery DVD or not and there is no recovery partition on the hard drive. I'm thinking that the only two options are to somehow find a system image or to just reinstall windows, if that's possible using the restore DVD.The reason I want to restore the computer is because I'm having a couple small issues with it, and I'd just like to start fresh.

I'd appreciate any help I can get. Thanks for the guide, but I get the same errors when trying to run Respawn within windows and outside of it. When I try the 're-image your computer' option I get this error message:'An internal error occured. The following information might help you resolve your error: The system cannot find the specified file.

(0x80070002)'And when I try the system restore tool I get this message:'To use System Restore, you must specify which Windows installation to restore. Restart the computer, select an operating system, and then select System Restore.'

At this point I'm stumped. Click to expand.That's what I'm beginning to think as well. Alienware tech support couldn't help me. My plan (correct me if any part of this won't work) is to re-install windows 7 64 bit home premium and use the cd key that came with the laptop to activate the new installation. Then I'll download the drivers from Dell's support site.In regards to creating a boot disc, can I make an.iso file and mount it to a virtual drive and re-install that way?

Or do I have to put the file on a flash drive or CD/DVD and install it that way? I haven't installed windows in a long time, so I'm not sure what would be the best option. That's what I'm beginning to think as well. Alienware tech support couldn't help me.

It should have the new mods name. Close Oblivion Mod Manager. Go to your Desktop. Keep things clean. Open the new folder that was just created. Install fomod with wrye bash.

Hi there,I have Alienware m15x, which I purchased in November 2009. Recently I planned to format my HDD and install everything back again using included Alienware Respawn disc with Windows 7 x64 bit on.The problems started at the very beginning. I mean, computer can't recognize this disc.

It doesn't see it even inserted. I found some very small circle way scratches on the disc (never used, first time opened the cd cover).Tried to reboot couple of times, with no effect, so I tried to copy this disc on other computer which detected and read this disc correctly. Copied disc inserted to my Alienware. At the first time, it showed me this disc blank, available to burn. After reboot showed this disc kind of correctly. Showed in Windows Explorer disc content.

Then I reboot comp again, but didn't manage to boot disc. Windows launched and tried to read this disc. Since then, at all times it finds it blank disc, available to burn.After all, I was going to try update firmware of the DVD drive. Downloaded from Dell site. App showed me that I have D500 fw, while the latest is D800. So I launched app to update it, but every time I try to do it program seems to freeze and doing nothing, while Task Manager shows it running. During this operation I get the following message:'The firmware update process of this company is organized so that the entire upgrade process is completed after the PC is automatically rebooted.

Therefore do not off the PC power supply by force while the upgrade is in process'So I left it, but nothing happened for next 3 hours. When observed no activity I rebooted by myself. Firmware stood still with the old one.I am running Windows 7 x64, originally installed by Alienware.

My disc drive is called: TSSTcorp DVD+-RW TS-T633C. No special programs running in the background, besides Kaspersy Internet Security 2010, Virtual CD ver.

10.x and Skype.So my questions are:1) Why can't I read this disc correctly, while other normal discs such as game discs, DVD-Video and many others are recognized correctly?2) Why doesn't it update my firmware?3) What I have to do to solve it? (Kind of obvious question ).
