ghostmaster Posted May 11, 2006 CID Share Posted May 11, 2006 The new Dell home editions usually don't come with driver CD's, rather they come with a recovery partition. It's not unusual to do that. HP is another one that does that stuff...... Link to comment https://testmy.net/ipb/topic/13385-drivers/#findComment-143221 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swimmer Posted May 12, 2006 CID Share Posted May 12, 2006 Yeah.. either way they are going to have to load the OS on the computer.. they choose to put the OS on the secret partition.. which is stupid.. cause you cant get it off and install a licence of the OS that you own on to another computer.. Now dell is charging $10 for the physical cd.. Link to comment https://testmy.net/ipb/topic/13385-drivers/#findComment-143407 Share on other sites More sharing options...
