    I need help...
    I had Vista 32bit on that notebook and bought 4GB RAM and 320GB WD Black Edition 7200rpm hard and tried to install Vista 64...
    First mine hard drive was not seen by install DVD with message that CD/DVD driver is missing (I am sorry machine is not with me now so I can not write messages I got exactly, but I hope that somebody who has this problem understands me)…
    I thought it is SATA problem so downloaded newest matrix driver, extracted and put on USB…
    Installer chose one of them and give me next step (partitions on hd seen correctly- I have made 1 partition by Vista 32bit installer)… But, on bottom of page was written that Windows can not be installed on that drive (I am sorry machine is not with me now so I can not write messages I got exactly)…
    What to do?

    Is your laptop compatible with 64 bit? are all the components of the motherboard (chipset, processor, etc) compatible?

    The Studio 1735 is completely compatible, and Dell offers 64-bit drivers for all the components.

    Exact error messages would be advantageous; otherwise it's pretty difficult to diagnose anything.
