UNSOLVED
Dimension 4700 back up disk
I had to have Dell replace my hard drive this week under warranty. I have all the CDs that came with it but they did not send the "resource" CD with the drivers etc. Dell tells me they can't send me one and I have to find access to a computer and download them off the site. I had to get somebody to do this for me. How ridiculous is that? The computer is just one year old and already they no longer supply the disk. This was very inconvenient.

- I ended up getting someone to go on the dell support page and download the drivers etc for me. Dell can tell you exactly what you will need from the list Once I had that it worked out. However now 2 weeks later there is another problem which I have to call them for. There was a "blue screen" message that said there was a memory management issue
- Wow, talk about frustrating. I called Dell to ask specifically where and what to download and now they say they have the disk and could mail it to me. Too late! The Dell Tech will be here this afternoon. They say there's no way you can download off their website without a fee. I am so confused. Every time I call, someone else tells me something different. This may just convince me not to buy a new system from them again. Now my daughter won't be able to get her documents off before the tech gets here. If you know exactly what your friend downloaded, please let me know if you can. Thanks, mmreid
- Eureka!!
I am having a similar experience, what I find astounding is that my technician made it sound that the disk was sent with my system and "I" lost it!! I am meticulous about retaining these accessories, and spent unnecessary time trying to find it, now more time on this bloody site searching for drivers. Fool me once.... inspiron4000

I think I'm having the same problem here... I had to install a new harddrive but now the computer isn't recognizing my network card. I'm trying to find the correct driver to install for it, check out the link below for the list of drivers for Dim 4700 systems. I don't know which one is for the network card though!!! Can anyone tell me? Thanks
- I think Dell made a major mistake packaging this disk on the 4700 Series. I own a 4700 as well. My friend who owns an identical machine had to reinstall, he thought he had all the disks but couldn't find the resource CD. Thinking he lost it he called me to see if I had one and sure enough I didn't have one either, and I know very well I didn't lose any of the material my computer came packaged with.

dell's blow, i just reformatted my 4700 and i couldn't get anything to work because they didn't send me the driver cd. how are you supposed to use a computer when you aren't given the cd's with the correct stuff on them. i hate it when you try to use the help menu and they always say go to www.some internet site.com to got help. how do i go there if i don't have any computer access? i should've paid the extra couple hundred dollars and went with an alienware computer.
