Yes. That's the driver I've used when I did a clean install on a 1520. In my case, I didn't bother slipstreaming the driver into the installation...

I know the feeling. I've tried Win10 and have vowed it will never be my OS. I have no experience with the XPS 9560 so can't be specific, but I...
Yes it does. I followed your link and looked under "Original configuration", "Components", and it says, "17.3 in HD+ WLED TL (1600x900) with 2.0MP...
If you can get the service tag no. from the seller, you can lookup the Original Configuration at support.dell.com. (This assumes the seller has...
Are you talking about this? If so, looks like it should be available in just a couple more days.
"Obviously??" Au contraire. In fact, it's supposed to fit, and it should fit. The location of the SATA connectors is specified by the SFF-8223...
Fry's Electronics carries them, so look for a store near your route. I think there's only one in Sacramento (if you're going down I-5), though...

Well, if that's the case I wouldn't have any qualms about installing a lesser edition of Vista if I couldn't find a Dell-branded Ultimate DVD but...

No, unlike the old XP recovery scheme, the imagex recovery scheme used in Vista and Win7 does not actually hide the recovery partition, it only...
Forget about that. Ctrl+F11 is only for XP systems. Dell's Vista systems went to a different methodology that does not use Ctrl+F11. Are you...
Glad to hear that. R112196 looks like the 1370/1470 mini-PCI card, so I guess now you know what's under that rounded-off screw and no need to...
A clean install is essentially no different than an install from a generic Microsoft disc, and as you've discovered it does not automatically...
The only critical specs are SATA interface, 2.5" form factor (aka, "laptop"), and height 9.5mm or less. That's the most common form of laptop...
Of course, one would have to wonder about the OP's sanity if he were to buy that just to try and salvage a very old CD drive that's not a burner...
Sorry, but I think you're being a bit naive. You seem to be looking at only the price of a blank DVD plus shipping and handling. How much did...
Did you look inside the battery compartment?
