I have a dell inspiron 1525 laptop and three partitions with one containing xp sp2 and the second containing windows 7 evaluation copy. the problem is that i want to reinstall a copy of either windows, however after the setup files are loaded in the boot mode, i get an error saying: no hard drive was detected on your system, setup will now exit, press F3. Someone told me that installing a sata driver would solve the problem. but i'm not getting it right. please give ur suggestions and possible solution.... thanx!
I you have a bios level password enabled and do not know the password, then you will have to contact Dell Technical Support to get a MASTER PASSWORD to disable it. There is no hardware path on a Dell portable (Aside from replacing the motherboard) to get around the password. To resolve:
Contact Dell Tech Support (80-624-9896 USA)
Validate that you are an authorized user of the system
Once done, TS will generate a master password for you.

my laptop battery only charges to 70% now, but my fault really: i remember a popup window asked me whether i wanted this option, since it would prolong my battery life. without thinking, i agreed to this, but i realized it need it to charge 100% for when i take it to school. i have no idea where to undo this option.. any ideas? i check power saver options, etc. laptop is samsung r522
