Reinstallingg windows and help with laptop configuration.
Ok so first of all thanks for any replies and help provided :)
Now i have an alienware m17 with the extra ssd and i formated it qutie a while ago my problem now is first of all i didnt use the ssd hard rive (stupid me) and i have no restore or backup cd from original installation by dell.
So what i want is help to restore my pc to its original "form" Especially the part that windows are installed in ssd hard drive and it invisible form user and no extra fiels are stored there :)
Any specs you may need fell free to ask.
Also where do i find all the drivers and i mean if there is anywhere i can find everything alienware commander , bus , motherboard , audio everything because after the formating i had to search and install them one by one.

Hi,
To better assist you, please confirm the revision of your Alienware 17 system (example=Alienware 17 R2) and also the Windows operating system that you are running with your Alienware (example=Windows 7).

Press [Windows] and [ r ] type in msinfo32 and then press [Enter] and from there you should get your model number and BIOS revision.

From that revision and date it sounds like its an Alienware 17 and not 17x.

I recommend downloading and clean installing Windows 10 TH2, this way you can install Windows properly on the SSD:

Well i will do a clean install but my problem is making an install on ssd drive and only placing windows incside so it wont get filled . like it was in default invisible ot users and with windows inside thats my problem. i will also stick to win7 for personal reasons .
So any idea how i restore it like that so ssd will be invisible and only have windows inside ?
