    Is it legal for me to make backup copies of my Dell CDs? (Windows OS, PowerDVD, Drivers Disc, etc.) :confused:

    I can't see why not. As long as you aren't distributing them, only keeping them for backups.

    FYI, the driver's disks are usually outdated. What I used to do was to go go the dell website and download all the drivers to a folder and rename the alpha-numeric codes to what they actually were. (modem,wireless,chipset, etc) That way you know which to install first after a reformat.
