		<description>carla,

&lt;blockquote&gt;i also have a dell xps m1530 but after pressing f8 i dont have the option of repair computer =/. my laptop has some serious virus and im going to sell it as spares and repair. but how do i go about deleting all my pictures etc?&lt;/blockquote&gt;

There are a few different ways:
1. Remove the hard drive and smash it with a hammer. Sell the rest of the laptop.
2. Download Active@ Kill Disk - Hard Drive Eraser. Burn this utility on a CD disc and boot the laptop from that CD. Run the utility and erase all data.
3. Buy an external USB enclosure for your hard drive (most likely SATA but check it). Remove the hard drive from the laptop and install into this enclosure. Connect this enclosure to another working PC and access or erase pics.</description>

		<description>luis,


&lt;blockquote&gt;i have dell m1530 but the f 8 does not work on mind and i want to put it back to factory mode. when i put disc windows install it give me a error 0×80070002. how can i fix it&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Not sure what this error means, but first I would run memory and hard drive test.
You can test memory with Memtest86+ utility.
You can test hard drive with SeaTools utility from Seagate (works fine for most hard drives).</description>

		<description>Noel,

&lt;blockquote&gt;I have an issue with Dell Studio.
I followed this guide and everything went as it said but after 20-25 minutes, it gave me an error that it failed to restore system. What other option do I have except using the disks?&lt;/blockquote&gt;

It&#039;s possible the restore process fails because you have a faulty hard drive or memory. I would run diagnostic tests on the hard drive and memory first.</description>

		<description>Yes, it&#039;s me again hehe,  the motherboard model: HP - 30E9 Chipset: PM45/ICH9(north/south).

The graphics is dedicated and im nearly sure it&#039;s MXM I or II.+

But what i am worry about is that the Mobo is blocked to only 1 model graphics card.

;) Thx.</description>

		<description>Ian,
&lt;blockquote&gt;Do you know the name/model and where to get the screwdriver for new’s HP laptops?&lt;/blockquote&gt;
It&#039;s torx T8. 
&lt;blockquote&gt;And do you know if i can upgrade my ATi Radeon 3430 in my HP Compaq 6830s laptop, to a 3650?&lt;/blockquote&gt;
Check your laptop specifications. If the video card is integrated into the motherboard, it cannot be removed or replaced.</description>
