Inspiron Dell 1420 Laptop Factory Image

Cyclohelix — Wed, 08 Apr 2009 02:27:26 +0800

Please refer to the following website first: http://www.goodells.net/dellrestore/vista.htm

If chances are the boot sequence and master is gone (let's say due to installation of other OSes and i cannot use the F8 function anymore to go into repair mode), how do i invoke or use dell factory recovery if the RECOVERY partition is still intact? Can i use Dos command or ImageX? And how so?

I tried using the Windows Vista DVD to boot in, but the option Restore Original Factory Image option is gone. Is it so if i reinstall a fresh copy of Windows Vista, and then i can get back the option 'Restore Original Factory Image' in the Repair/Safe Mode later?

Thanks for the help, hope Dell users out there can help. No point calling the Dell technician as they wont say or teach!

Upgrading to Windows 7 on Dell Inspiron 1420

Cyclohelix — Tue, 07 Apr 2009 17:20:39 +0800

Hi there PC Gurus,

To all inspirion 1420 dell laptop owners, you would usually find an easy way to get a fresh copy of the windows vista by reverting back using dell original factory restore function at boot.

Now the question is, if i were to upgrade the Windows Vista to Windows 7, can i still have the function of reverting back to windows vista at boot via dell original factory restore? I am asking such as i dont want to tamper the dell factory image as it is such a life-saver!

For those who have installed windows 7 on their dell inspiron 1420, try to call up the restore factory function at boot and tell me the result.

MANY THANKS!

Dell Inspiron Mini 9 + Maxis

Cyclohelix — Mon, 15 Dec 2008 18:39:53 +0800

Hello LYN folks,

Can i remove the Maxis BB sim-card and replace it with another sim from other 3G providers? If yes, do we need to modify the built-in HSDPA/modem and tweak the software interface?

Please enlighten us...

I've called maxis and guess what? the Dell Mini 9 with built-in Dell Wireless 5530 HSPA Mobile Broadband Minicard Device is NETWORK LOCKED BY MAXIS. Meaning if I were to change service provider via sim-card, I need to mod or 'use other avenue' as stated by them..lol

How to filter websites at router or server level?

Cyclohelix — Tue, 11 Nov 2008 22:14:50 +0800

Hello to all net-working gurus,

Please advice the best possible way to filter websites easily. Any software to load at server or router level? i think keying in url one by one is quite tough as it is much better to have a predefined list or template for url blocks.

Thanks

DNS Issues & Address

Cyclohelix — Fri, 24 Oct 2008 00:13:42 +0800

Hi forumers,

Anyone can supply other DNS besides the following crazy screamyx ones:

202.188.0.133
202.188.0.132
202.188.1.5

I have been using OPENDNS (208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220), but still having lags because my DDWRT enabled router still connects to one of the streamyx DNS intermittently causes even worst latency and lag -.-

Anyone?

Mod delete please, thanks
