Hard Disk Spoilt

Sigh.....still remember i came here to write a blog regarding my new notebook from Dell. Just one month period and it already caused me so many problems...started to feel regret for this model.

After 1 or 2 weeks i used Windows Vista, at first i find it pretty nice to use. It has added some features for the convenient of user especially the graphic interface.

However, when come to downloading software or drivers.... i really headache.
The main purpose i bought a new notebook to replace my old one is hope that i can increase my productivity and mobility. As my old one is more to a desktop already. so i cant move around to do my work and its pretty slow already. Who knows, after i used the new one with Windows Vista, the first thing i found IS one of my very important software its not compatible with Windos Vista, in other words it means my software still cant support Windows Vista. Almost pengsan there already when i found out. Keep trying and asking around but everyone give me the same answer ---NO WAY!

sigh......

Later when i try to download other software from the Internet, some of it also cannot support specifically its from Unknow Publisher!

SO no choice, i hv to give up. And thinking to install back Windows XP.

So i tried to borrow original XP cd frommy friend and install on my new notebook. Quite reluctant actually, coz i like some of the features in Windows Vista like the gadget, windows etc.

However, things are not smooth as i thought. I cant install successfully the Windows XP. I dont know what problems so again, i find my expert friends and consult Dell Technical support. Then, only i knew....my model Dell Inspiron 1420 with many choices of colours is NOT SUPPORT for Windows XP!!!!!

Oh my god!!! What the heck....

im getting crazy.

AGAIN NO CHOICE....install back Windows Vista................sighhhhhh

So, its peaceful for 1 or 2 weeks till last Friday.

My bad dream approached me again. :(

Last fri, when i want to start my notebook it cant load to windows, keep mentioned an error message "NTLDR is missing, press any key to continue"

I pressed and pressed any key but the result still the same.

I thought i shut down and start again later on. But till yesterday (tuesday) its still the same.

I tried many solutions that i found from the Internet, and tried to reformat the whole notebook. Still cant. So i passed to my fren expert in IT. but came back same answer!

really so fed up and angry!

Just one month i bought and the HDD already spoilt. Really feel no confident with Dell products. Delivery of product already so slowed, technical support only work for 5 days, email to them also slow replied.

Finally today, a technical people came to my house and change a new hard disk for me!

Sigh... finally i can blog again right now.

Actually many friends advice me not to buy Dell notebook, blame myself too stubborn and attracted by her new model with white colour. hehe...so i hv to pay for the lesson.

Anyway, Dell had been given me a very bad impression. If anyone thinking to buy Dell, maybe you should reconsider.
