    Hello,

    It has been one year that i bought my alienware M11x and i didn't create a recovery boot cd. I recently formated the machine using a usb stick and the windows 7 cd that came with the laptop because the machine was overheating a lot. However, after having downloaded all the drivers on the dell site i still have one piece of hardware that is not recognized. Plus, i experiance a lot of problems with my laptop (lots of blue screen).

    I was wondering if it is possible to find a recovery bood cd to download or is it unique for every machine? I still have a recovery partition of 14,6gb but 10,3gb are empty. There is only an empty file called recovery and another document called ADRInfos.xml which when double cliked opens internet explorer with :

    " <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
    <AppDrivers xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" /> "

    Thank you for your concern.
