I am having problems reinstalling windows on my Alienware M17x R4
I have been trying to reinstall windows on this computer serveral times but still keep getting errors. My hard drive crashed so I lost recovery partition. Everytime it gets close to finshing install it gives me an error thats says Windows Setup could not configure Windows to run on this computer's hardware. I know the hardware is fine. It was working before new install. Bios reads the harddrive and system check, checks out ok on it. I was thinking I need to install drivers during or before install just not sure how. I also tried when you are on partition screen there is an option for load driver but when I browse off of my usb storage says no files found. I also dont have resource disc that came with computer. I have a new bought windows cd. If anyone can give me some suggestions I would really appreciate it. Thanks Tim
P.S.either reply on site or email me at

Tjquinlan55,
You will need to download the SATA drivers from www.support.dell.com and install them when it reads to install a driver. Take a look at the thread below.
