your computer and try again.

next start-up, the computer boots according to the devices specified in

the system setup program.

CD/DVD/CD-RW and

press <Enter>.
Select

Boot from CD-ROM from the menu that appears and press <Enter>.

they appear and follow the instructions on the screen.

Alienware

Diagnostics

If you experience a problem with your Alienware laptop, run the Alienware

Diagnostics before you contact Alienware for technical assistance. It is

recommended that you print these procedures before you begin.

NOTE: Back up all data before initiating a system recovery. Backup

functionality is included in AlienRespawn™ v2.0, but as a precaution it

would be better to backup critical files onto an external media before

initiating recovery.

NOTE: The Support disc contains drivers for your computer. You can

also download the latest drivers and software for your computer from

support.dell.com.

Review your laptop’s configuration information, and ensure that the device that

you want to test displays in the system setup program and is active. Start the

Alienware Diagnostics from the Support disc.
