Alienware AlienRespawn Installation after windows install...
Okay long story short, I decided to basically attempt to restore my computer to factory settings so I used the disc that installed windows 7 home premium and thats it. None of the actual alienware stuff like command center, face recognition, etc.. So once I only had windows on with no alienware technology I did some research and found that alienrespawn could have been used to restore to factory settings... after I already deleted the windows.old file losing everything except the new windows 7. After watching a series of videos and reading many forums I discovered that it was possible to install a new alienrespawn. I installed the setup and everything went well until the part after you restart your computer. The setup was supposed to continue after restart which it did, but it stayed on the first step of "preparing hard disk" out of four it said "Disk is Full" which I don't understand because my C drive has just about nothing installed giving me plenty of space. So I would appreciate it if someone could tell me how to fix this problem of it saying Disk is Full. Any help would be great. Thanks... Alienware m17x if that matters.

Did you format the whole hard drive at the moment of the installation?
Are you sure the Alienrespawn is not asking you if you want to create a recovery disk, because if that’s the case you will need to insert a blank disk.
And on regards to the Alienware software and drivers you can download them from the dell support website.

I did not format the whole hard drive and honestly I do not know how to do that if I still can...
Regarding the recovery disk, that could be the problem and I will try to insert a blank disc or something along those lines.
All drivers and software are up to date. I still need help on this problem.

I will recommend you to install windows in the proper way formatting everything; this video will show you how to do it, (the only difference is that they are using a blank hard drive) what you have to do is select the existing partitions on your hard drive and delete them all.
